Windows 10: How do I recover a hacked minecraft account if the email was changed?

My other microsoft account recently got hacked and it had my minecraft account on it, I was just curious if I am able to still recover it?

:)

 

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!

 

My Microsoft Account was Hacked, I need to recover it.

Hi, a few months ago, my Microsoft account was hacked. I have been working with a new one that I made, but have since ran into a problem because I wanted to play Minecraft with friends, and the Minecraft account is linked to that Microsoft account, which I no longer have access to. Whoever hacked the account has changed the email, and when I try to recover the account with the Account Recovery form, it says "an account with this email address does not exist."

Really not sure what to do, and I really don't want to lose everything I have associated with that account.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Just learned that whoever hacked it has updated the current account email to yb****@yandex-summer.ru. It won't tell me the whole email they used but it's a start.

 

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.
