Minecraft account got stolen through a discord link

Noel Leon · Jul 4, 2023

So i was playing some minecraft and someone sent me a link to their discord server to Voice chat. In this discord server it required me to verify my account. I got an email send where i had to put in a code. Then i get kicked out of the game because someone else has signed in. When i check they also changed my username. I tried signing in through my email, phone number but nothing would log me in to my Minecraft account because the alias had been changed. When i put that it was suspicious activity and that i didn't do it, it just made me changed my password but i couldn't recover the Minecraft account. Any help guys? I've put a lot of years into that account.

I have more information over the hack. The code was a reset password email where they were able to migrate my minecraft account under their email. That's when i lost it. i contacted support there is nothing i can and i cant seem to get anyone on the phone. Hundreds of dollars down the drain

Hi Iodine!

Sorry to hear about what happened. This is clearly not the situation I want you to be in. Just to set your expectation, due to our account safety and security, only us the account owners have the ability to recover our accounts and verify their ownership. Even a Microsoft Support cannot recover our accounts on our behalf because they're protected by the security information we have setup on our accounts which we only have access to.

Since your email address was replaced already, you cannot use your own email address to recover your account. You must know the current email address of your account which must be the hacker’s email address to start the account recovery process. Without it, you cannot start the recovery process because it's the primary key of your account.

In addition, I am afraid that it's difficult to recover your account especially that they've enable 2FA on your account as an extra layer of security.

I suggest that you check your mailboxes (inbox, spam/junk, trash folders) to find traces of the new email address that's currently linked to your original account. If the account was added to an Xbox console, it would be best to check it from there too.

In case you know the current email, you may try to reset the account password through https://account.live.com/pw
***Make sure to sign out any account signed in to https://account.microsoft.com website before starting an account recovery.

If it doesn’t work, try to fill out the account recovery form on https://account.live.com/acsr

You may also use the Microsoft’s interactive tool here https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/h...

I'm sorry to hear that you have fallen victim to a hacking attempt. It's important to be cautious when sharing sensitive information on the internet. Have you tried reaching out to Minecraft customer support? They might be able to assist you in regaining access to your account and changing the associated email address back to your original one. Additionally, it's always a good idea to enable two-factor authentication on any accounts you have online to prevent future unauthorized access.
