What to Do If Your Kijiji Account Was Hijacked

We understand that discovering your Kijiji account has been accessed by someone else can be concerning. Most often, account hijackings are not the result of a Kijiji system breach. Instead, they usually happen because login credentials were leaked online from other websites or services.

Why This Happens

If your Kijiji account and your personal email share the same password, scammers may be able to access not only your Kijiji account but also other personal accounts. This is why it’s crucial to use unique passwords for each online service.

What You Should Know

• Because hijackings typically originate from external data leaks, there are no guarantees that your Kijiji account can be reinstated.
• Scammers may change account details, making it impossible to recover access safely.

Recommended Actions:

To continue using Kijiji safely, we advise creating a new account with:

• A unique, strong password that is different from any other account you use.
• Updated contact information that only you control.

Taking these steps will help ensure your personal data remains secure and let you continue using Kijiji with peace of mind.
