I see. What happened when you click on the masked email address? Did you see other options to recover it from that link?

It's really required that we know the current email address of the account. We cannot perform the recovery if we couldn't get it. If your account was previously signed in or currently added to an Xbox console, try to check it from there.

Hello,

I don't have the hackers email address. When I try to recover, it provides some of the email address but hides most of it with *** characters for security purposes. I have an email from January 25th, 2020 of an unusual login from another country that is most likely the hacker but no emails showing the new email that was updated.

Hi cpgraves56!

Sorry to hear about what happened. This is clearly not the situation I want you to be in.

In order to begin the account recovery, you must not use your original email address because for sure it was already removed from your account. You need to use the hacker's email address which must be the current email address of your account for the recovery process.

Have you been notified about the changes where it shows you the current email address of your account?

Alternatively, you may use the link below to try to recover your account using your gamertag.

Hi Brian_0901. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

When an account gets hacked, you must act fast to increase your chances of recovering it. Since the account's email has been changed, I'm afraid it will no longer be possible to recover the account. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.

For future reference, here are some tips to keep your account safe and secure: https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/628538c2-7006-33bb-5ef4-c917657362b9
