Minecraft/Microsoft Account Hacked - Please Help Me Recover

Nick_805 · Dec 31, 2022

Last night I fell for a scam in which I thought I was claiming a gifted award on Minecraft. I received a couple of emails, one of which said my email address was removed from my Microsoft account. The other said a new email address (which wasn't mine) was added to my Microsoft account. A few minutes later I lost access to my Minecraft account, and I've yet to recover any sort of access. I've already submitted some help requests on Minecraft's website, but haven't heard anything back. I have all the information that they ask for, such as Transaction ID and access to the email address used to create the account when it was first bought. However, now that all Minecraft accounts are migrated, I thought to come here for help on how to recover my account, if that's even possible at this point.

If you migrated Minecraft to your Microsoft account, and it was this account that was hacked, it will be the one you have to try to recover.

Hi Kiernan! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Microsoft/Minecraft account being compromised.

Based on your description, you will have to recover your old hacked Microsoft account since the game Minecraft was purchased there. The system detects that your new Microsoft account does not have a Minecraft license.

Since you mentioned that you have deleted the Microsoft account, I just want to confirm if you have manually deleted it through closing the Microsoft account? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-account-c1b2d13f-4de6-6e1b-4a31-d9d668849979

If yes and the Microsoft closure is completed, I'm afraid it is no longer possible to recover your Minecraft game as the license was purchased on the Microsoft account.

Just in case the Microsoft account has not been fully deleted yet, you will have to recover your hacked Microsoft account. From the official Microsoft article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-account-24ca907d-bcdf-a44b-4656-47f0cd89c245 Kindly try to follow the instructions in the interactive tool in order to recover your account.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.
