Hackers compromised some web email services managed by Microsoft

On the heels of a trove of 773 million emails, and tens of millions of passwords, from a variety of domains getting leaked in January, Microsoft has faced another breach affecting its web-based email services.

Microsoft has confirmed to TechCrunch that a certain “limited” number of people who use web email services managed by Microsoft — which cover services like @msn.com and @hotmail.com — had their accounts compromised.

“We addressed this scheme, which affected a limited subset of consumer accounts, by disabling the compromised credentials and blocking the perpetrators’ access,” said a Microsoft spokesperson in an email.

According to an email Microsoft has sent out to affected users (the reader who tipped us off got his late Friday evening), malicious hackers were potentially able to access an affected user’s e-mail address, folder names, the subject lines of e-mails, and the names of other e-mail addresses the user communicates with — “but not the content of any e-mails or attachments,” nor — it seems — login credentials like passwords.

Microsoft is still recommending that affected users change their passwords regardless.

The breach occurred between January 1 and March 28, Microsoft’s letter to users said...

Microsoft recently became aware of an issue involving unauthorized access to some customers’ web-based email accounts by cybercriminals. We addressed this scheme by disabling the compromised credentials to the limited set of targeted accounts, while also blocking the perpetrators’ access. A limited number of consumer accounts were impacted, and we have notified all impacted customers. Out of an abundance of caution, we also increased detection and monitoring to further protect affected accounts.

Resetting pasword after hackers change recovery emails

Helping my 93yo mother. Her MS account was hacked and fraudulent transactions were made on her linked credit card. Card is now cancelled. Need to update the financial details and make the account secure again, but the hackers changed the recovery email
addresses (to 2 Russian addresses, she is Australia) and the password was also changed. Tried to change the password using the recovery process but get an automated reply from Microsoft saying that because 2 step verification is activated, the request will
be ignored. Of course she can't use the 2 step verification process because she doesn't own either of the false recovery email addresses. And she can't get access to some of the support mechanisms because she can't login to MS without a password. I have been
trying for days to find a different process but just keep going around in circles. All ideas welcome!
