  1. Account hacked and email and phone number changed.


    My Microsoft account was hacked and the hacker changed the email and phone number, I've contacted Microsoft and they want to transfer my account files but I feel like it is kind of risky and they don't want to do anything and I have important files on my office365 that I need, I've also spent so much money on my xbox account just to lose it like that. I've filled out the recover for but it says I haven't provided enough information when I put everything on the account. If anyone knows what to do please tell me.

    :)

  2. email account hacked. please help

    Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

    Gmail
    Outlook

    The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

    I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!

    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.

  4. Account hacked and email and phone number changed.

    My Microsoft account was hacked, email and phone number changed.

    Hello,

    A bunch of my accounts were just hacked and all the info changed in a data leak that happened.

    In this, whoever had access to my accounts changed ALL necessary info to make sure I can't even log into my microsoft account, including changing the email and phone number, having Microsoft state that my "account with that email does not exist". I am still signed into the XBOX App and the Microsoft store with these accounts, but changing any info is not possible.

    The account recovery tool does not work since the email was already changed. What do I do next?
