  1. Account Stolen, getting "We couldn't find an account with that username. Try another, or...


    Hello, recently I've been a victim of a cyber attack, most of my accounts have ended up being stolen so I checked if my Microsoft account ended up having the same fate. Unfortunately, when I tried logging into my account with my email I got that error. I tried recovering my username only to find out that my email had been changed with one ending up with @tenermail.com which is, from what I found out, a disposable email address. I tried filling out a recovery form but it wouldn't work because my email was changed and it keeps saying that my account doesn't exist. I HAVEN'T received 1 email notifying me of the email change or any breach in my account. How can I get my account back?

    :)

    Hello, Oprea C. I’m Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    I'm sorry to hear your account was compromised.

    IMPORTANT: Don't share personal information, including email addresses, gamertags, phone numbers, etc.

    As community users like you, we are not able to enter or check information, and everything we comment can be seen by anyone on the internet. Doing so may expose your data.

    That being said, you can try retrieving your account by following some recommendations provided in this related article from Microsoft:

    https://support.microsoft.com/accou...-account-24ca907d-bcdf-a44b-4656-47f0cd89c245

    If none of those methods work, I regret to inform you that this means the hacker managed to change all your account information. Therefore, it's not possible to recover it.

    Furthermore, you may want to check out this article about contacting Microsoft support regarding Microsoft accounts:

    https://support.microsoft.com/accou...-account-bb65aa6a-9135-31df-0b36-d6318d6f4e0f

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Microsoft account. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

    It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

    If I may ask, did you remove the primary email address of your Microsoft account prior to this error?

    According to a fellow independent advisor, Diane Poremsky [ M365 MVP ]: You will need to contact Microsoft to have the address restored to the Xbox account.

    Use the contact links at the bottom of this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-account-475c9b5c-8c25-49f1-9c2d-c64b7072e735

    For reference link: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-account/1ea46aa9-8017-4093-b3d3-669ba76dce50

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    Hi Gagan, based on all the information on the post.
    I'm afraid to say that it seems your account has been compromised and the hacker managed to change the email address associated with this account.

    You can try to recover it by following the suggestions provided in the Microsoft interactive guide below:
