A hijacked WhatsApp is used to beg your contacts for money within minutes. A fake Instagram profile with your photos can destroy a reputation or run frauds in your name. These are punishable offences — identity theft under Section 66C and cheating by personation under Section 66D of the IT Act — and they deserve a legal response, not just a support ticket.
We combine platform-side recovery (structured takedown and recovery requests to Meta, Google and others) with law-side action (cyber cell complaints and legal notices) so the account comes back and the offender faces consequences.
Situations we handle
- WhatsApp takeover — OTP theft, call-forwarding scams, WhatsApp Web hijacking
- Instagram / Facebook hacking and ransom demands for account return
- Fake and impersonation profiles using your name, photos or business brand
- Email compromise — Gmail/corporate mailbox takeover and data theft
- Misuse of hacked accounts to defraud your contacts
Why the legal route matters
Platform forms alone often fail, especially when the hacker has changed recovery details. A properly documented cyber cell complaint creates the paper trail platforms respond to, opens the door to data preservation requests, and puts real legal pressure on identifiable offenders. Where your contacts were defrauded through your hacked account, prompt legal documentation also protects you.
Account Hacking & Impersonation — Frequently Asked Questions
My WhatsApp is hacked and the fraudster is messaging my contacts for money. What is the first step?
Immediately try re-registering WhatsApp with your number to force the hacker out, warn contacts through another channel, and report on cybercrime.gov.in the same day. Then call us — we handle the complaint drafting, platform escalation and any fallout from money your contacts may have sent.
Can a fake profile impersonating me actually be removed?
Yes. Impersonation violates both platform policy and Indian law. A documented takedown request backed by a cyber complaint has a very high success rate. Repeat impersonation cases can be escalated to prosecution.
Is hacking someone's account a criminal offence in India?
Yes — unauthorised access and data theft fall under Section 66 read with Section 43 of the IT Act, identity theft under 66C, and impersonation frauds under 66D. Punishments extend to imprisonment and fines.
