    My Microsoft account was compromised a few years ago, during the pandemic...


    To give the complete story, I had that account prior to the pandemic, and I decided to purchase Minecraft Java that year, in addition to receiving Bedrock for free through a promotion. Unfortunately, my account was compromised a few weeks after I purchased the game, despite having enabled two-factor authentication and utilising a variety of Microsoft security features. I attempted to submit a support complaint, but my account was subsequently disabled and they were unable to restore it. I remain determined because, as of today, I discovered that my backup code from the final security action performed on my account in 2022 was still present.

    Hi there! 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 account being compromised.

    Just a gentle reminder that we are only Xbox gamers like you here in the community. We are not Microsoft employees and we do not have tools to access any Microsoft System.

    My apologies however contacting Microsoft Xbox Support is the last resort to recover your account from the hacker. Since you were able to do that before and the Support was unable to restore it and resorted to disabling/suspending the account, I'm afraid it is no longer possible to recover your account.

    You can try to contact Microsoft Xbox Support again if they can escalate your case through the link below:

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

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

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    good afternoon

    a few years ago companies checked the address, for example, or other data, only the card number and the security code, today it has changed, due to the pandemic and the increase in online purchases, and the verification is more rigorous, if you, for example moved and the address on the card provider is an old one, and on the microsoft account it is a new one is enough to give incompatibility in the data.

    It usually takes a little and longer because of the pandemic we're suffering
    No Pandemic 5 years ago and took them an obscene amount of time. I better get comfortable for this one.
