Hi there,
I’m Victor, CEO of Antiban.pro. For over 8 years, my team and I have been helping people and businesses restore hacked social media accounts and messengers. Believe me, I’ve seen it all — from simple phishing scams to targeted attacks on channels worth serious money.

If your Telegram got hacked, I know it feels awful. But here’s the good news: in most cases, you can recover access and minimize the damage. The key is acting fast and following the right steps. That’s exactly what I’ll share with you here.


The First 5 Things To Do Immediately

  1. Don’t panic — clear thinking is your best weapon.

  2. If you still have access, log out suspicious sessions.

  3. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) and set a strong password.

  4. If you’re locked out, call your mobile carrier right away — it might be a SIM-swap attack.

  5. Take screenshots and save all evidence — they’ll be critical for recovery.

Step-by-Step Recovery Guide

If You Still Have Access

  1. Open Telegram → SettingsDevices / Active Sessions. End every session you don’t recognize — leave only your own.

  2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): create a long passphrase (at least 10 characters), use an authenticator app, and store backup codes in a password manager.

  3. Change the password on the email linked to your Telegram. If you reused the same password elsewhere — change those too.

  4. Check admins in your channels and permissions for bots. Remove anything suspicious.

  5. Publish a short, honest message to your subscribers (see template below).

Act fast here — while you still have access, you can cut the hacker off and secure your core accounts.

If You’re Locked Out (SIM-swap or no access to your number)

  1. Call your mobile carrier immediately. Ask them to block your SIM and tell them you suspect SIM-swap fraud.

  2. Request written confirmation of SIM activity (date/time of replacement). You’ll need this for Telegram support and possibly law enforcement.

  3. File a police report, especially if the hacker is scamming people or posting harmful content. Keep the case number.

  4. Reach out to Telegram support, attach your evidence, and explain the situation.
