My hotmail is compromised

Hello,

My hotmail account is compromised.

I tried everything, resetting password, removing all devices, enabling 2FA, even removing password and only log in using authenticator.

The hacker keeps adding forwarding rules, I remove them and he adds them again. My DigitalOcean account has been hacked due to having access to the reset password email, then he changed the email for my account.

How is he able to add rules while I changed everything. Also I requested logout from all devices and it says it might take up to 24 hours to clear all sessions. Is it possible this is the reason why he still has access to my hotmail and adding rules.

Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Ahmed,

    Most probably that the account has not been completed logout from their devices.

    In the meantime, please also double check your security information and make sure that only your device is setup from the Authentication to make sure that only you can access it and get a code for the verification.
