Question

Someone got into my microsft account through minecraft

Spencer Hirsh 0

I was in a minecraft server

I opened a fake discord link to a "Badlion Client server"

Registered my minecraft account to the server

The person stole my minecraft account by deleting my microsoft account connected to it.

I have the receipt from when I bought minecraft still in email but they changed the email to the account.

What do I do to either get it back or delete it so they can't play on it?

Answer 1

Use the Microsoft account recovery process immediately.

Go to the Microsoft hacked account recovery guidance and use the sign-in helper tool.
Before changing the password, run a full malware scan on the PC. In Windows Security, open Virus and threat protection > Scan options > Full scan > Scan now.
If access is still possible, change the Microsoft account password from the Security basics page and create a strong new password.
On the Recent activity page, review sign-in activity. If suspicious activity appears under Unusual activity, select This wasn't me. If it appears under Recent activity, select Secure your account.
Check account settings that may have been changed, including connected accounts, forwarding, and automatic replies.

If sign-in no longer works because the attacker changed the password or security details, use Forgot my password and select I think someone else is using my Microsoft account.

If the attacker changed the associated email or enabled their own verification methods, the available path is still the official hacked-account recovery flow. The context does not provide a supported method to remotely delete the account so the attacker cannot use it.

For suspicious messages in the future, do not click links or call numbers in the message. Open a new browser tab and sign in through the official site instead.

Answer 2

Hello

It sounds like your account might have been hacked and taken over.

I am so sorry this happened. Please fill out the Recover My Account form: https://aka.ms/recovermyaccount

Instruction for each field can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/manage/guidance-notes-for-the-microsoft-account-recovery-form

Contact email: Use an email address you currently have access to. This is where Microsoft can contact you regarding your request.

Response time: A response may take around 5 business days, although this is not guaranteed. Please save this to your safe sender: [email protected]

Date of birth: Pay close attention to the required date format. This is an area where users sometimes make mistakes because it is asking for US date format.

Account information: Provide as much accurate information as possible. If you genuinely don't know an answer, it is better to leave it blank if allowed rather than guess.

Device and location: If possible, complete the form using a computer, Wi-Fi network, and location you normally use to access your account. This may help Microsoft recognize your usual sign-in activity.

============================

Also, to avoid any misunderstanding or false expectations, I'm an independent community user. I can help you navigate and make sure you are using the right tool/resources, but I don't have access to your account and cannot manually recover or unblock it. The final decision is made by the account security review team, so I cannot guarantee the outcome.

Microsoft Support also cannot bypass the required account verification or reinstatement process.

Lastly, please don't share any passwords, verification codes, or other private account information here, as this is a public forum.
