Microsoft account got hacked and my main email got changed to secondary

Hello, Levi030. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

I am sorry for what happened. If you had an alternate email address or phone number added to the account - and if the hacker haven't removed them - you can try the steps on the URL below to try to reset your account password:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

If the above does not work, your only option is to fill the recovery form. In the article below you can get detailed information on how to fill the form:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

The Microsoft recovery form is available at:

https://account.live.com/acsr

If you receive a message that your account does not exist anymore when trying to fill the recovery form, unfortunately you will not be able to recover your account.

No Microsoft employee can help users recovering their accounts besides what users can do by themselves - which is using the above options. Microsoft employees are not allowed and have no access to change anything on a user account. I hope you understand.

If you have any question, please let me know. And again, I'm really sorry about this.

My Microsoft account got hacked. The hacker was baiting me to get him verification codes of changing the security info of my account, then got raid of my account.

He deleted the original email of my account which is "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" then somehow changed the account email to another one named
"*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" (These info is shown in first image, check attachments).
After doing so, he got raid of all my security stuff like verify phone number and email.He was clearly hacking my account. He literally deleted my original email of this account "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***", if he is not hacking this account, he has no need to do it...

I really need help!

"My Microsoft account got hacked. The hacker was baiting me to get him verification codes of changing the security info of my account, then got raid of my account."

You didnt actually give him the verification codes did you? If so this would've been what allowed everything else that happened afterwards to occur.

Thanks for the response,

i tried the instructions that you provided me but the email was changed and it says "The Microsoft account you've entered does not exist."

tbh i don't know what to do because i can't type the account because it "does not exist".

is there any other way ?

Thank you for your time.
