someone hacked my email, added 2fa, now there is no way to even perform a recovery because all i get is "It looks like you just used the Microsoft account recovery form (https://account.live.com/acsr?mkt=en-US) to request a password reset for ****. Because you've turned on two-step verification for your account, we ignore these requests but wanted to let you know."

so what? the game of cat and mouse is over and the hackers automatically gained the upper hand with this trick?
