What should I do if my Nova88 account is hacked?

Act in this order in the first 5 minutes: (1) If you can still login, immediately change your password to something completely new. (2) Logout all other sessions via Account Settings. (3) Contact 24/7 live chat with the words "account compromise" — they freeze the account instantly. (4) Document the time, suspicious transactions, and any unfamiliar bets. Speed prevents further damage.

How do I know if my account was hacked?

6 warning signs: (1) Bets you didn’t place. (2) Deposits or withdrawals you didn’t authorise. (3) Email notifications about login from unknown locations. (4) Password no longer works. (5) Bonus you didn’t claim. (6) Suspicious changes to bank account on file. Even ONE of these = treat as compromise.

Can I recover money taken by a hacker?

Possible if reported within 72 hours. Nova88 investigates suspicious transaction trails. Bets placed by unauthorised users are typically voided and stakes refunded. Withdrawals to attacker-controlled accounts can sometimes be reversed if caught quickly. Speed of reporting is the deciding factor.

How was my account hacked? Common attack vectors?

Most common: (1) Phishing emails or fake Nova88 login pages — always check URL is nova88.me exactly. (2) Reused passwords from breached sites. (3) Public Wi-Fi credential theft. (4) Family member access without 2FA enabled. (5) Compromised email account giving attacker access to password reset emails. Enable two-factor authentication to block 90% of these.

🚨 First 5 Minutes — Emergency Lockdown

1If you CAN still login: Go straight to Account → Change Password. Create a completely new, strong password (not reused from any other site). 12+ characters mixed letters/numbers/symbols.
2Logout all other sessions: Account → Active Sessions → "Logout all other devices". This kills the attacker's session immediately, forcing them to need the new password.
3Enable 2FA right now: Account → Security → Two-Factor Authentication. Even if attacker still has password, they can't login without your phone. See 2FA setup guide.
4If you CANNOT login: Skip to step 5 immediately. The attacker may have already changed your password.
5/contact-us/ 24/7 live chat IMMEDIATELY: Use these exact words: "My account has been compromised. Please freeze it now." Provide your username + KYC name. Support freezes the account in under 60 seconds. Find the right support channel.

📋 Next 30 Minutes — Document & Report

1Check Bet History for the last 7 days: Identify every bet, /deposit/, /withdrawal/ you DIDN'T personally make. Note Bet IDs and timestamps.
2Take screenshots of everything: Suspicious bets, unauthorised transactions, unfamiliar bonus claims. Visual proof speeds investigation.
3Check email account security: If attacker accessed your Nova88 email, they likely accessed the email account itself. Change your email password too. Enable email 2FA.
4Review login history: Account → Login History shows IPs and locations of recent logins. Flag any you don't recognise. Foreign IPs especially.
5Submit compromise report: Send live chat: screenshots, list of unauthorised transactions, suspected attack vector (phishing email? public Wi-Fi? shared device?). Speed of detailed report = speed of recovery.

💰 Next 24 Hours — Fund Recovery

Nova88's compliance team investigates compromise reports within 24 hours. Here's what they can typically recover:

Unauthorised bets: If clearly placed by attacker (different IP, device fingerprint, betting pattern inconsistent with you), bets are voided and stakes refunded to your wallet.
Pending withdrawals: Reversed before processing. Funds returned to your wallet.
Completed withdrawals: Investigation with the receiving bank. Some Malaysian banks reverse fraudulent transfers within 7 days if flagged early.
Crypto withdrawals: Harder to recover but blockchain forensics may identify destination wallets for legal action.
Bonus winnings from attacker play: Voided.

Recovery isn't guaranteed, but reporting within 72 hours dramatically improves outcomes. Reports after 30+ days face much harder evidentiary standards. Speed matters more than anything else.
