Question

My account got hacked by a Discord OAuth

Hamish STAFFORD 0

i got banned from a minecraft server and when i went to make an appeal i went to the wrong server and they asked me for a code. The hacker changed my primary email alias, security info, and password, so I am completely locked out. The original email was (PII ******@gmail.com) and they changed it to (PII ******@outlook.com). If this helps my minecraft username was (PII Removed by moderator) on java and i think my bedrock one was (PII Removed by moderator).

This is a widely reported scam on Discord joining a server, that code gave them full access to your account and they immediately change the recovery details like the associated Email to block you from accessing the account.

I wish I had better news, but when a Microsoft account is hacked, if the hackers change the associated Email or if 2FA is enabled on the account, then that account is usually no longer recoverable, this forum is just a user to user account and no-one here has any account access, try using the process they provide on this link to recover a hacked account, if this process is not successful, sadly, that account cannot be recovered.

Use the Microsoft sign-in helper first. It can guide to the correct recovery path or offer the chance to talk to an agent: Sign-in helper.
If the account was compromised, clear the PC of malware before attempting any password change on any related accounts:
- Open Windows Security.
- Go to Virus and threat protection.
- Select Scan options > Full scan > Scan now. This is important before changing passwords.
If access is regained at any point, immediately:
- Change or reset the password.
- Check connected accounts, forwarding, and automatic replies, because some settings may have been changed after the compromise.
Since the primary alias and security info were changed, contact Microsoft Support from another Microsoft account that is still accessible:
- Go to Contact Microsoft Support.
- Enter the problem and select Get Help.
- If needed, select Contact Support.
- Explain that the original sign-in alias is no longer recognized and that the alias, password, and security information were changed without permission.
Gather account-identifying details before contacting support, such as the original sign-in email, previous passwords, gamertag or Minecraft profile names, purchase or subscription details, and the approximate date the compromise happened. Do not share passwords or verification codes publicly.
Important limitation: support agents are not allowed to send password reset links or access and change account details directly.
If the standard hacked-account recovery process is not successful after the alias and security info were changed, similar Microsoft Q&A cases indicate the account is often no longer recoverable.
