Microsoft Account Hacked

This may be a stupid question. What account verification app?Click to expand...
Click to expand...

Here you go buddy, some info! https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12414/microsoft-account-identity-verification-apps-faq

people don't need to change email address when compromised, they need to change password and make sure they have proper security... that includes not using passwords on more than one service, if one service is compromised all those details are sold.

Someone in another country will pop up with it, even if it takes years to happen. My skype password took approximately 4 years from compromise to have someone log in and use it.

This app makes you click approve when logging into websites, and it's instant once you click "accept" the website will load in normal.

Any devices that don't work with the app like xbox 360 will have you go to website once to create a password (it will generate a password that isn't easy) and you use that on those devices to login with your normal user name.

Microsoft Account Hacked

Im tired of this hacking shit.

Off topic, everyone needs to watch out for that ransomware shit.

Last year almost 1 billion got paid out. That was a huge jump from 2015 where only 32 million was paid out. With a jump like that Im sure it will grow even more.

You will need to contact support and have them do an unauthorized access investigation. 1-800-4my-xbox if you're in the US/Canada or
support.xbox.com/contact-us

If you know who did it, you would need to file a complaint on them via the console in order for the enforcement team to investigate.

Unless a main website or service has been hacked - like PSN, it's not a hack ok.

Phishing, NOT a hack

Social engineering, NOT a hack

Giving someone your LIVE ID to someone else and then losing your account,
NOT a hack

Using dodgy software or websites offering free points and what not, then losing your account, still
NOT a hack.

Signing up for various suspect websites using the same email address and password for LIVE. then losing your account. still
NOT a hack.

If EA was compromised and it held your Windows LIVE ID, this is technically a hack, but it's EA that would have been hacked, not Xbox LIVE. When I say 'hack' I mean a real, sophisticated website or server attack. A hack in the literal sense of the word.

You need to purchase a new subscription for your new account, or you could contact the Xbox Support and get your Hacked account back, unless its not really hacked?
