  1. My account was hacked, email was changed, they removed 2 factor, as well as any linked numbers.


    I need to speak to a person. not some damn tool. Not some reroute to another useless thread. I need this account back. The description says it all. They changed the email to ho*****@dentalmail.su. I tried to recover it, but was at work and my GF has my old phone number which she showed me the text 5 hours after it was sent. Locking me out of any way to get in save for still being in my authenticator. There has got to be a way to recover this. If video game companies can do it, SO CAN MICROSOFT! This was an account linked to my xbox, stealing that account as well. I want to hear FROM MICROSOFT!

    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.

    Steam Account Hacked

    Again...

    I sent a ticket I just hope they resolve it soon cause I really want to play Portal 2.

    And I don't want him getting me banned.

    But the scary thing is they hacked my Email account too!

    I've changed the password but is that enough?

    I scanned my Computer using malware and it got rid of 9 Nasty objects! Its been months since I did a scan and now I'm thinking this is how they got me.

    Is a password change and malware scan removal enough to secure me? I made the password much harder than before.

    Thinking about doing a reformat as well. Suggestions? Should I leave the hacked email account and make a new one?
