Question

Desperate for help: Account hacked, primary alias changed, and escalation tickets automatically closed.

Antonio Guglielmino 20

Hello everyone, I am writing here out of desperation as I am stuck in an endless automated loop with Microsoft Support.

Around October 18, my 15-year-old account was hacked. The hacker changed the primary alias to their own address (ncakira***@outlook.com) and removed my original email (antonioguglielmino***@hotmail.com). If I try to use the standard ACSR form, the system says my account "does not exist".

I contacted live chat support (Case: 7110619380) and the agent escalated the case by sending me the secure form for hacked accounts. I submitted the form with extremely precise data: my historical IP addresses, my Gamertag (Elmen93), the console serial number, Xbox network device ID, and proof of purchase for my games and subscriptions (Game Pass, GTA 5, etc.).

Two tickets were generated (SIR24967195 and SIR24967240). The issue is that the automated system at [email protected] replies almost instantly stating the information is insufficient or simply closes the case, without a human operator actually looking at the attached bank receipts or console IDs.

I have the physical console, payment methods, and receipts to prove beyond any doubt that I am the legitimate owner. Is there any way to get a real human from the Escalation/High Team to review my case instead of being instantly rejected by bots? Thank you in advance for any help.

If you have not received any other communications about your SIR tickets, it does not look good. Other user have reported getting hung out to dry as well. All I can suggest is that you read thru the comments in this thread and try anything that looks like it might even remotely have a chance of working for you.

The only way to reach someone on the Security team is via the Account Recovery Process, which you have already tried.

The only (very slim) chance you have is Xbox Account Recovery - Chat

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/manage-account/lost-password-solution
On the right side in the “Still need help?” section, click the "Start a chat" button.
That should open the Xbox virtual assistant.
Tell the Chatbot that you need help from a real human support agent for a lost/hacked account.
It should then give you a list of options, chose "Chat with us"

I am sorry. I know that losing access to your account is more than just an inconvenience, it can cause real hardships. I wish I could give you another answer.
