    My microsoft account has been hacked and I've been locked out without any way of taking...


    My e-mail address was hacked a few days ago and the hackers have control over everything that is linked to that address, including my microsoft account which I set up for my son's X-Box.

    Thankfully I picked up their activity very quickly and canceled my credit cards after only one game they bought. Because they have taken over my account (along with all my social media accounts and apps on my phone), I can't change the password, close the account or anything. I've tried over and over to find help on the microsoft website (which I am desperate for) but there are no options that cover this issue.

    I've tried the Live Bot and asked to talk to a human and the only option I get is for a phone call but I always get the message that they're unable to call back. I have no idea what to do. There seems to be no direct contact I can make and there are hackers in their system that are holding my account with them hostage. I'm sure they want it sorted out as well. I've created this new profile on a new address so long and I'm really hoping that someone will be able to point me out. I really am desperate....

    :)

    My microsoft account has been hacked and I've been locked out without any way of taking back control.

    Hi there!

    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 and other accoun info were 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.

    I suggest to check your mailbox (inbox, spam/junk folder) 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...

    My microsoft account has been hacked and I've been locked out without any way of taking back control.

    I’m experiencing the exact same problem, and I expect nothings changed for you as microsoft makes it way to easy for hackers and all they have to do is change it to a email you don’t know and theres no hope in recovering the account. I’m so frustrated at this fact, especially because I have some irreplaceable things on that account. However, please let me know if theres any updates or if theres a miracle in which I can somehow recover my account.

    LOCKED - my account has been hacked

    Well, the only way to get "hacked" on Xbox live is if YOU gave your personal information or an email of yours. It's your responsibility, hence you own the account. Call support so they can investigate it.

    LOCKED - my account has been hacked

    Did you give out your E-mail Address and Password? Also don't post his GT in future. Unauthorized Access can take some time to investigate. Sit tight and they will get back to you as soon as they can.
