Windows 10: Account hacked and email changed to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

This happened maybe a few months ago and I decided to finally make a post about it. It's been annoying me for a while now and one day my email was just changed and so was my password, they changed the backup email and phone number too. Is there any way I can get my account back? I spent money on that account and now it just seems I lost that for nothing.

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.

 

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Why has *** Email address is removed for privacy *** appeared at the top of my email address list?

This has taken over from my other email address and I may have sent emails to engage windows instead of my personal email address, because engage windows has suddenly appeared at the top of my address list.

Why has this list changed anyway?

 

My previous Microsoft account is hacked and it is changed to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Hello,

I just came back after a check-up and failed when I tried logging into my Microsoft account. I attempted to use different methods, but that didn't work either. It turns out that my account got changed from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, and my backup email became *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Is there a way for me to get the account back? I bought Minecraft with that, so I would like to regain access to it.
