    My son's family account has been hacked


    Hi - I am the manager of my son's account. Someone hacked into my son's account, changed password and access email. It was flagged as suspicious activity via email sent by Microsoft, but as we discovered these emails after the attempt (which appeared to have taken 5 minutes and originated from the Netherlands per this alert email), access was lost and we can no longer sign-into his account ("account under original email does not exist").

    How do we regain access? My son played minecraft on his computer using this account yesterday; I also tried to verify information using an X Box via console ID, but were not successful.

    My son is desperate and I very much appreciate your help.

    :)

    Hey Geneviève

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently unable to recover your sons account.

    Normally we would encourage you to follow the
    Compromised Account Solution
    wizard, however, considering the gravity of the situation and how far along this has gotten I would instead recommend that you Contact

    Xbox Customer Support
    as they will be better equipped to help you in this situation.

    Its worth noting that if you can fill out the
    Account Self Recovery
    request form, prior to reaching out to support, might give you an edge here.

    You can follow these steps to get ahold of an agent:

    Log into Support.Xbox.com

    • Step 1: Scroll down, and select Support at the bottom left hand side under
      Xbox.
    • Step 2: At the bottom of the page, click on
      Contact Us
    • Step 3 : Select Xbox One then See other options
    • Step 4 : Select your Issue –
      How to protect your account
      • Select - Show contact options
      • Select –
        Request a call from Support

    I hope this was of some help to you.

    My sons account has been hacked

    Hi RobBell6. 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

    My sons account has been hacked

    > Why are Microsoft unable to send recovery details to the email address associated with the account?

    Because that email address is no longer associated with the account.

    > Also if it can’t be recovered how do I cancel the Xbox Live subscription

    Microsoft can only assist with billing queries if you have access to the account. You'll need to contact your bank or financial institution to cancel the charges. If you pay with card I'd suggest cancelling the card too.

    Please reach back if you have further questions.
