If you think your Microsoft account may have been hacked, the first thing you should do is check your recent sign-in activity. Look for unfamiliar devices, locations, or login attempts.

Here are a few steps that can help secure your account:

Change your Microsoft account password immediately.

Enable two-step verification for additional security.

Review your recovery email and phone number.

Remove any unfamiliar devices from your account.

Check your inbox for suspicious emails or messages.

If you notice any unusual activity, take action as soon as possible. Keeping your password strong and enabling extra security can help protect your account from unauthorized access.

I understand that you have the same or similar issue to the one discussed in this thread. But you will probably not get any help by adding to an old post.

I would suggest that you start a new thread using the "Ask a question" button at the top of this page to create a new Question and include the details for your specific problem and what steps you have already tried to fix it.

Welcome 25 Nicholas Timuta,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, and thank you for checking before clicking anything.

Microsoft's official security emails for personal accounts come from the Microsoft account team at ******@accountprotection.microsoft.com. The address you mentioned uses a different domain, "msaccountsafety.com", so please treat it as suspicious (possible phishing) until you verify it directly through your account. Seeing this message does not by itself mean your account has been hacked, but it's worth a quick check. Please follow these steps:

Do not click any links, open attachments, reply, or share any code from that message. If it is in your inbox, select the message, then select Report > Report phishing in Outlook.com, and then delete it.
Check your account without using the message. Open a new browser tab, type https://account.live.com/Activity, and sign in. Review the Recent activity list for sign-ins from locations or devices you don't recognize. If you see an Unusual activity section, expand each item and select "This wasn't me" for anything that isn't yours.
If you see anything you don't recognize, or if you clicked a link or entered your password on a page opened from that message, go to https://account.microsoft.com/security, select Password security and change your password to a strong, unique one. Then go to "Manage how I sign in", and select "Sign out everywhere".
Turn on two-step verification at https://account.microsoft.com/security under "Advanced security options". This helps protect your account even if your password is stolen.

I hope it helps for you.

one of my accounts got compromised and the backup email they said is exactly like that Moderator note: PIi removed@msaccountsafety.com and ive been trying to get it back with no success as for when i submitted my account recovery form i got an instant automatic bot response saying it got denied and i cant do anything if you have any suggestions of how i can recover it or get it terminated so the person who did it doesnt get to enjoy the minecraft account it has on it ?
I can also provide proof that it is mine via the phone number and backup i had asociated to it and i also have it still connected to my minecraft as you can see here .

Moderator note: PII ******@outlook.com was the email

Hello dreaw,

When you start a password reset, is your own phone number still listed as a way to get a code, or only the attacker's email?
