  1. My account has been compromised.


    I've had this Microsoft account since at least 2018. I made it on the Xbox One and I still use it now on PC, however it has recently been compromised by a Russian user. I believe they compromised my Microsoft account first as they then were able to access my linked Epic Games and Ubisoft accounts, which I have retrieved. My gamertag is "21". I am coming to the forums to ask how I can get it back. My email is still associated with the account because when I try to create a new account with the email it says that it is still connected to the account, but there is a new email ending in ".ru". This disables me from creating a new account, not that I'd want to, but when I am just trying to sign in or fill out the recovery form it says that "No account is associated with this email/We do not recognize this email."

    :)

    How can you complain about Microsofts security when you dont even remember your own details? Quote - "I can't even access the WILD that goes with that gamertag, because i don't remember the password from 3 years ago"

    As Gob1zku said, someone sending messages saying they "hacked" and not being able to purchase a sub does not mean your account has been compromised, but to be sure please contact support and raise an investigation.

    you don’t understand me, they stole my account from me and unlinked my phone number and mail and tied another mail that I don’t know, but my mail was not hacked, this mail has a receipt for buying an account from the official site

    However, there are three ways to regain an access of the account.
