Microsoft Account Email + Password compromised/hacked.

Holyman26 · Sep 19, 2023 at 1:42 AM

Hi my Microsoft account was recently hacked (within 48 hours) and I have tried to follow the account recovery tools but I don't know what email my Microsoft account was changed to when my account was hijacked. I can provide an ample amount of information about the account PRIOR to its changing of emails but that hasnt seemed to help me with all the "self-help" that is offered on the website. Incase you are curious as to what I want my Microsoft account for, it is so I can reclaim my minecraft account as that was also compromised as a result of this hack.

Any input or guidance would be much appreciated, thanks.

:)

1. if Microsoft were hacked and emails and accounts compromised it would be all over the news .

2. if this had happened they would force a password change on all accounts.

accounts don't just get hacked that easily. have you shared your account, are you game sharing with someone.

You would need to follow this guide for a compromised account.

change your password to a less easily guessable password, do not share accounts.

difficult to be hacked, unless you gave out info, have a very easy password or gameshared with someone.

if your account was compromised then use the following link to report it and try to resolve it.

To protect your account, you will want to change your Microsoft account password (as well as your email password) to lock out any possible unauthorized users.
