  1. My entire Microsoft account got hacked and I have no way of knowing the current email.


    Essentially, I had pulled a couple of all nighters back to back to back and in the morning I clicked on a phisher link that took my Microsoft account. The hacker changed the email from mine to a separate email and then swapped it again from that email to what I would assume is his main email. I have no way of knowing the current email that the account currently has and all I know is that my Minecraft account is still connected to it. On my Minecraft account I have about $700 worth of stuff (its in-game items that if was equated to a real life value) and thousands of hours. If there's any way to get back my account please help me out. It has also been a couple months since this happened since I eventually gave up on the Microsoft "live AI support call" which was absolutely terrible and provided me with no help. This is also a problem that has been experienced by a lot of other people and not just me.

    To summarize, my account was stolen through a phisher link, the email was changed from my email to the hackers secondary email and then changed to his main email so I don't know what email the account is currently linked to, I tried the support call and it was no help, and I have little to no information on the account as of this moment.

    My entire Microsoft account got hacked and I have no way of knowing the current email.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Derrick, I am sorry to know that you have lost your account, in such cases you have two options, the first is to try to recover your account using the account recovery form below.

    Recover your account

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    Help with the Microsoft account recovery form

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

    If you cannot recover your account using the form, the ideal is to contact Xbox Customer Service via chat and request an ATO (Account Takeover), this is because this forum is public viewing and unfortunately as independent consultants we do not have access there is some data and procedures that Xbox Support has.

    However, ATO is a similar procedure to the online form, but done by a Microsoft agent, it will need as much information as possible for you to do the procedure.

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us

    Here in the community we are independent consultants, so we do not have access to the same information and tools that support has.

    Each account recovery case is unique, and if you request the ATO, you must wait for a response from Microsoft's investigation department.

    How to recover hacked microsoft account

    Thank you for your reply Lumie,

    I am currently using a new microsoft account but with the same email as my hacked account, I want to know if that will interfere with the process of recovering my hacked account as the email was the same. In most of the tools you have mentioned they are asking for the email you wish to recover but that is the same email I am using now so I am in a bit of confusion.

    The hacker took my old account and changed the primary email of that so I have no idea of the email the hacker is currently using on my microsoft account.

    I hope you understood my question.

    Thanks in advance,

    Nate

    Account Hacked and Email changed

    The problem is its my entire microsoft account that has been hacked but theres no category for that on the forums. I tried both those pages but as my email has been changed there's no way to troubleshoot. I can easily prove my account as I can prove access
    to the initial set up email, card numbers and my identity.

    Merge purchases and game saves from an educational email to my personal email

    Unfortunately, MS don't allow you to change the primary email due to the risk of fraud, hacking and whatnot...if they allowed it, then a hacked account could then have it's address changed
    I'm technically going to be "hacked", or someone else won't have access to Microsoft services.

    As they're going to disable my account, any new student that comes and gets assigned to my handle (which is automatically generated through the users initials), anyone else can end up with the same login account as I do.

    So someone else will have my email, at some period of time. Either I'll have to delete this @cin.ufpe.br account entirely, thus losing my game saves and purchases, or someone else owning the current handle will be unable to access Microsoft services, up to and including MSDN.

    I just want to port everything to my current account, which has a similar handle. I fully understand the reason you pointed out, but there must be an exception for cases like these.
