My Microsoft account was hacked/compromised and got the email and password changed.

Hello, My microsoft account was compromised and got the email and password changed, I tried to recover it using the Account recovery method by putting my email but it said it didn't exist, so I tried out by putting the unauthorized email (wich appeared on the email I've recived when my information got changed without permission) and then I gave the details, luckily I managed to change the password so I had to login using the hacker's email and my password and then I was able to login but now with an email that doesn't belong to me.

Recently, I noticed that the information of my account got changed again, changing the email and password, and this time I didn't recive any email of the change since the email my account had was the hacker's email so the email notification shoul've arrived on that acount. wich means that I don't know neither the email and the password.

I also have talked with the live support chat and I've filled 2 account recovery forms but I haven't recived any response since 3 weeks, what must I do now? I'm stressed.

:)

Hi, Jeremy! I'm sorry to hear your account got compromised. No worries, I'm happy to assist you with this today.

Regrettably, once the email has been changed, we can no longer able to use the online form regarding Account compromised. I would suggest trying these steps and see if you can reach the Xbox customer support for them to further check or investigate your account.

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

Then click on "Contact us" > Account and Profile> Then choose I need a Microsoft account> Type Account Hacked > Click Next> Click on See contact options> Select from there, it should show you the option to chat with them or request a call.

Let me know if that works. Thank you!

1. if Microsoft were hacked and emails and accounts compromised it would be all over the news .

2. if this had happened they would force a password change on all accounts.

accounts don't just get hacked that easily. have you shared your account, are you game sharing with someone.

When I enter my email into the first box it says that my information is correct, so I change my password but then it changes the password for another account I made because when I first got my account compromised my email changed to the account then I somehow made another account with the email that was originally on the account

You would need to follow this guide for a compromised account.

change your password to a less easily guessable password, do not share accounts.

To protect your account, you will want to change your Microsoft account password (as well as your email password) to lock out any possible unauthorized users.
