If you entered credit card information on a website after clicking the phishing link, then cancel that card right away.

Once you’ve been phished, you may be at increased risk for certain types of fraud. Cancel any affected credit cards and/or flag any unauthorized transactions. Otherwise, a bad actor who managed to get a hold of that one password could start trying to log into several of your accounts (this practice is known as ‘password spraying’). However, if you re-used one password or a variation of it across multiple accounts, it’s a good idea to update all of those accounts with unique and secure passwords ASAP. If you already practiced good password hygiene, for example by using a unique password for each of your online accounts, then that habit will serve you well at a time like this. You can quickly create a secure, new password using the Password Generator feature in LastPass, then automatically store that updated password in your encrypted LastPass vault. This way, you’ll have a better chance of keeping attackers from wreaking havoc on your digital life. Also consider proactively changing the passwords for your most important accounts (for example, your email account and any financial accounts you may have). If you entered a password in a phony website after clicking on a malicious link in a phishing email, then that’s the first password you’ll want to change. The first order of business is to change your passwords right away. Then, you can take action to protect yourself. So, take a beat and find your calm center using whatever method works best for you.

You may still have a chance to prevent the worst outcome from happening, and you’ll be a better decision-maker if you’re not riddled with fear and anxiety. It’s normal to freak out right after finding out that you’ve been phished, but it’s best not to spiral if you can help it. What now? Here are five concrete steps you can take to mitigate any damage, so your phish doesn’t turn into a whale.

However, even the best-laid plans can fall through, and you could still find yourself getting hooked in a phishing attack. You’ve probably read plenty of articles that tell you how to prevent yourself from being phished.
