Will changing the password prevent hacking?

A hacker has got access to only one account and he is always uploading malware. Is there any way to trace the hacker, the ip address he uses. Also will changing the password, prevent further damage?

Wow that's sad not sure if changing passwords help maybe if you use strong password helps to keep the hackers away for some time but they are smart and have the technology to superpass thay

I am so sorry to hear this. Changing the password may only stop them for a short time and eventually, they will get back in and continue what they were doing.

Have you been in contact with the company you use for your hosting? They may be able to see a lot more than you can and also may be able to put something in place to prevent them from continuing.

I hope you manage to find a solution soon.

While regular password changes are important, they alone can't prevent hacking. Using unique, complex passwords for each account, enabling two-factor authentication, avoiding clicking suspicious links, keeping software updated, monitoring for unauthorized access attempts, and hiring penetration testing services will all significantly strengthen security. Ultimately though, no single solution perfectly guarantees immunity from potential breaches. Defense involves layers of vigilance.

For instance when you change to stronger passwords frequently you can prevent the hacking for your account

I think the changing of the password has significantly meaning on the complicating the account hacking processes.

If your account is compromised, we need to change the password as soon as possible. In this way, scammers will not be able to hack the account.

Change of password does not prevent hacking, it does minimize the chances of getting hacked. There is a difference between these two

Changing your passwords often can prevent hackers from gaining access to your accounts. Make sure that you use strong passwords and immediately update them. In addition, install antivirus software or other programs that can help protect your computer.

I agree that we can do changing the passwords at random. As for me, I usually do not use same passwords to all the sites that I joined. This is safer not to be hacked.

I doubt a simple change of password would prevent this, especially in a case the person is very good at hacking.

The experts say that the creation of strong passwords and the two factor authentication would in a way prevent the hacking.
