How Can I Recover a Microsoft Account If the Email Was Changed by a Hacker?

Hello Riffo, if the recovery form didn't work probably the hacker changed the email address associated with the Microsoft account you're trying to recover.

I know the next could be frustrating, but I must inform you that's not possible to recover the account if the hacker managed to delete your email address

I am trying to recover my microsoft account that is linked to my minecraft of which have been migrated from mojang. How could i know the email if the hacker has changed it?

The hacker could only have changed your account email address and deleted the old one. If it wasn't that, you could not be able to create another Microsoft account with the same email.

And if you change a Microsoft account email address, you will not delete the Xbox gamertag associated with it.

Probably the hacker is using your account to play Minecraft. You can contact Microsoft Official support but they will tell you the same thing: the only option to recover a hacked account is by using the recovery form:

If the recovery form says your account does not exist (because the hacker changed its email address) you cannot recover it. I'm sorry about that.

Hi, I am Mariano, an independent advisor from the Microsoft-Xbox community. I am sorry you are going through this issue, let us try to fix it

Have you tried completing the account recovery form? If not, here's the link:

I recommend being very detailed about what happened and providing all the information you have available.

Completing the form does not guarantee that you can get it back, but it is better to try.

This means the hacker changed the email address associated with your Microsoft account and the account cannot be recovered. I'm really sorry about this.
