I just lost my account to some hacker

First they changed my password

Then added a new recovery email

And lastly removed my security methods

I can't obviously recover my account now but I have the email of when I bought Minecraft with the same account... is the second time it happens to the same account basically...

Have you tried the steps to Recover A Microsoft Account listed on Microsoft Support?

Recover Microsoft Account

As mentioned above, I'm afraid account recovery won't be possible. You may want to create a new account at this point.

Note that this is a community forum, we do not have access to account details.

Thanks,

Hello, ministr. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

If the hacker have not changed the security information on the account (phone, alternative email address, etc) you can try to follow the steps below to reset the account password:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

If the above does not work, your only chance is by filling the recovery form again. Try reviewing the information you submitted and double check if any is wrong. Unfortunately it is the only option available - if two factor authentication is not enabled on the account. If the hacker also enabled two factor authentication on your account, unfortunately it will be impossible to recover it.

No Microsoft employee can help users recovering their accounts. They only instruct you on how to fill the recovery form or reset the account password if the hacker did not take full control of the account. If you talk to a Microsoft support advocate, he/she will tell you the same thing. They are not allowed and have no access to change anything on a user account. I hope you understand.

If you have any question, please let me know. And again, I'm really sorry about this.

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

If the account's email has been changed, then I'm afraid account recovery won't be possible. To protect customer privacy, Microsoft can only help customers verify their account ownership through the online recovery form: https://account.live.com/acsr

Customer support is unfortunately unable to assist with account recovery.
