I need help with Minecraft Microsoft account. It's been hacked, how do I get it back?

Traian Claudiu Mihai · Apr 14, 2023

Hello, please help. I wrote about this to Minecraft Help already and they told me to contact Microsoft.

------------------------------------------------

CONTEXT: I've had my main gmail (and attached family member gmails) hacked near January/February of this year.

They stole a lot of money from me and when I finally managed to recover the gmails, I found out that my Minecraft account was not connected to my Microsoft account anymore. They stole it, and put THEIR email, in the place of mine, meaning I cannot access my Minecraft account anymore because it's not under the umbrella of my Microsoft account (@live.com gmail) anymore.

------------------------------------------------

INVESTIGATION/PROOF:

POINT 1) With the help of a friend, on namemc.com, I am now 100% sure that my account was stolen and the email was changed from mine, to theirs. The name of my stolen account is now set to "Tamagooooooooo" after 3.5 years of it being "ScrewNames". You can see it on the site. Here's the link to it even: https://namemc.com/profile/Tamagooooooooo.1

Literally look. Look at this person, look at the skin, think about the fact that the name has been ScrewNames for 3.5 years and then see that the name was changed near the date I was hacked. "Ah yes, totally bought account, I just randomly decided that I would name myself TAMAGOOOOOOOOO AFTER, AGAIN, THREE. POINT. FIVE. YEARS. OF BEING NAMED SCREWNAMES." ENJOY MY MIGRATION CAPE.

POINT 2) In one of my PRIVATE Aternos servers "Tamagooooooooo's" UUID appears. Meaning that they were one of the people playing. In my server. Which, again, was private. What I'm trying to say is that it was literally me. This guy has all my stuff now.

POINT 3) The ONE thing that frustrates me the most is that, if you go on NameMC (again, https://namemc.com/profile/Tamagooooooooo.1 ) you can see this person is still blatantly using my skin, the yellow one with a lemon on its hoodie, that I made pixel by pixel. You can see it says it was first worn by that account, because I DREW that and I have family and other people who can vouch for me.

POINT 4) This guy is just wielding my migration cape like it's a trophy. At least change the DARN SKIN OR, get this, TRY TO HIDE THE FACT THAT YOU STOLE THE ACCOUNT.
------------------------------------------------

CONCLUSION:

I DON'T know how to get it back. I've already said this to the Minecraft team, but all I can do is desperately ask for your help, PLEASE. Please help. I have literal metric tonnes of proof as i've had that account since 2014. Or even before 2014 because I remember being small.
I'm incredibly frustrated, it's been SO long. I've lost my migration cape, all my progress on Hypixel although, I don't really care about the server itself, more so I care about my memories IN that server.
I lost my private Aternos servers, and so many other childhood memories linked to that account.

Sorry for the unprofessional language. I'm not feeling professional right now, more like insanely mad at the hacker guy or whatever. Also it's so HARD to contact anyone.

I don't really even know where I'm posting this.

------------------------------------------------

Ah, I just found out how to attach screenshots. I'll list what I sent in order.

------------------------------------------------

Nevermind it says not found. Ok I seriously don't know at this point. I'll do anything to send you the proof I got. Just tell me how to do it.

------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:

Hacker got to my Minecraft account and unlinked my email from it. They then replaced my email with theirs so now my Microsoft account acts like I never owned Minecraft and my Minecraft account does not belong to me anymore as it has that other guy's email now.

All I know is their Username is "Tamagooooooooo". That's about it.

Hi Drow. My name is Jose, and I would be happy to help.

Unfortunately this is a public forum of the Microsoft community where we are players like you who try to help/guide other players with basic problems, this means that we are not Microsoft employees.

The only way to recover a stolen account is through the account recovery form, although if the Microsoft account that was linked to your Minecraft account was deleted, unfortunately there is not much else that can be done, however, try to fill out the recovery form.

Hi Abdullah A, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

I'm sorry to hear that someone stole your account. I know how frustrating it can be when this happens. Let's say that the only alternative you have at this moment is to send the account recovery form (If your information was deleted there is nothing to do unfortunately), I have also been through this situation, so I can give you some recommendations.

The first thing is to enter information that the account has, in case a phone number or card has been deleted, you should simply omit that information and not add it to the form. That said, you can enter the following link:

https://account.live.com/acsr

Please note that Support cannot help recover accounts, but in that case, if you want to contact them and talk in a live chat for more detailed information, you can access the following link.

Support: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/

Please note that this is a Microsoft public forum, where we are gamers like you trying to guide/help other gamers solve basic problems they are having, this means we are not Microsoft employees.
