dude i tried that once when someone got into my instagram and it was such a disaster lol. ended up downloading some sketchy software that probably made things worse and my laptop started acting all weird. way better to just change all your passwords immediately and turn on two factor authentication everywhere. learned that lesson the hard way when i was deployed and had terrible wifi - took forever to get everything sorted out but at least i didn't make there security worse by trying to be some wannabe hacker

Immediately lock things down, change passwords starting with email, enable 2FA, log out all sessions, and check for anything suspicious before it spreads further.

Depends on the hack.
Did they compromise an account somewhere? Recover/change the password and anywhere else you used that password.
Did you get ransomware? You're fucked without backups.
Did you get an email saying you've been hacked without any evidence besides public information? You haven't been hacked.
