What if you clicked the malicious hyper active link?



  1.  Close your browser completely – all tabs



  1.  Open a new browser and log into your email on the web and change the password. We recommend at least 12 characters – Check your password strength here:  https://bitwarden.com/password-strength/



  1.  The bitwarden tool will tell you how long it would take a hacker to crack your password.  Anything less than 1 year should NOT be used.



  1.  Scan your computer with an antivirus program
