🚨 What to Do If Your Account Was Hacked (Vendor Edition)

Last updated on Apr 19, 2025

f you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to your vendor account — act fast. Your account contains sensitive data, listings, and payout settings, and protecting it is critical for your safety and your customers’ trust.


🛑 First: Stop the Damage

  1. Log in and change your password immediately
    Use a strong, unique password you haven’t used anywhere else.

  2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (MFA)
    If you haven’t already, turn on MFA in your account settings to block future access attempts.

  3. Check for changes
    Review your:

    • Listings and prices

    • Shipping settings

    • Payout/bank details

    • Messages and orders


📬 Next: Notify Support

If you can’t access your account or believe malicious actions have been taken:

Email us at
📬 support@resourcerer.eu
Use the subject line:

(security) Vendor account compromised

Include:

  • Your registered email address

  • What you believe happened

  • When you noticed the issue

  • Any suspicious activity (e.g. payouts, pricing changes, messages you didn’t send)

We’ll lock the account if needed and investigate immediately.


🧾 Important Notes

  • Resourcerer cannot refund payouts already processed if they were sent to a modified account — so time is critical

  • Only CEO and CTO have backend access; support staff will never see or reset your password manually


🧙 Prevent It from Happening Again

  • Always use MFA

  • Never reuse passwords between services

  • Don’t share your login — even with staff or colleagues

  • Be cautious of phishing emails or fake login links


Your vendor reputation is important — and we’re here to help protect it. If anything seems off, let us know right away.
