Windows 10: Account compromised, email changed and all credentials. Proof of ownership.

I recently have been compromised on my computer with a Trojan virus, I got notifications about severe security alerts on my phone regarding my email address. I immediately changed my password for my email address, doesn't even make sense how they got into the account considering I have 2FA and my phone has not been compromised. I kept on getting trojan notifications from my antivirus, so I decided to reset my PC.To my surprise, i try to log into Minecraft using my Microsoft account, and I entered my email but it says the account doesn't exist, I know this is incorrect as I have emails of proof

option to change the login credentials on Windows 10 computer

Hello Ankit,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

We would like to know if you have received any email when you say Microsoft gave me an option to change the login credentials on my Windows 10 computer

Again, please be informed that in order to change the Login ID credentials, you need to access you Microsoft Account at the first place, in this case which would be recovering the Microsoft Account(MSA).

I suggest you to follow the recommended link which was earlier suggested.

Getting back into your Microsoft account if it’s been compromised


Once you recover your MSA, you can refer to the below steps to change the credentials.

• Login to https://login.live.com.
• Specify the current Windows live ID and password in the available fields and click
  Sign in.
• On Microsoft account page, make sure that Overview category is selected from the left pane.
• From the right pane, click Rename account under Account summary.
• From the right pane of the next page, make sure that Create a new email address radio button is selected under
  Rename your Microsoft account.

Hope it helps this time.

Thank you.

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

Windows Email Account Compromised

Hi,

unfortunately my Windows account email has been compromised.

The intruder was able to change the email and the password of the account, thus locking me out. Microsoft offers a manual procedure to recover access, but despite entering all the info that I can the team does not recognize me as the owner of the account.

The compromised email is still associated as Administrator of my main Windows 10 PC. Is it possible to have another account as administrator without having to format the PC/reinstall all the software?

Thanks greatly for your help
