Help! My work laptop was hacked in a cyber attack!

Asked 2 years ago

Hi guys I need urgent help. Yesterday my work laptop was hacked in what looks like a cyber attack. They've changed all the passwords for my logins and I'm not sure what to do next. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Thinking of using a VPN in the future but I don't know if that will help either?
