Dear Microsoft Support Team,

I am writing to express my serious concern and frustration regarding a security incident involving a personal Hotmail account.

The account appears to have been compromised by cybercriminals who changed the account language to Vietnamese, deleted the entire email history, and sent a blackmail message demanding payment in Bitcoin.

We have managed to retain access to the account and enabled two-factor authentication. However, all emails have disappeared, including those in the Recoverable Items folder, making recovery through the standard procedures impossible.

Since discovering this incident, we have repeatedly attempted to contact Microsoft Support through multiple official channels, including telephone, the Outlook website, the mobile application, and online support services.

Unfortunately, every attempt has led to automated responses or chatbots, without providing access to a human support representative capable of investigating the situation.

To date, absolutely nothing has been resolved.

It is unacceptable that a company of Microsoft's size does not provide an effective human support channel for such a serious incident involving personal information and years of important email correspondence.

I am formally requesting:

Immediate access to a qualified human support representative and an official case number.

A thorough investigation into the unauthorized account access and deletion of emails.

A technical assessment of whether the deleted emails can be recovered, including through any internal recovery mechanisms that may be available.

A formal, detailed explanation from Microsoft regarding the incident and the available recovery options.

If Microsoft continues to fail to provide an effective response, we will consider pursuing formal complaints and appropriate legal action to protect our rights and seek accountability.

We are not asking for automated replies or generic troubleshooting instructions that we have already followed without success.

We need a proper investigation, direct assistance from a qualified professional, and an official response from Microsoft.

I expect this matter to be treated with the seriousness and urgency it deserves.

Sincerely,

An affected Hotmail account holder

    Hi, @miliane ribeiro ribeiro

    I'm really sorry this happened. Having years of email wiped by someone else is awful, and the chatbot loops only make it worse.

    Being honest first: Outlook.com keeps purged mail for about 30 days under "Recover items deleted from this folder," which only shows on a PC or Mac browser, not mobile. If that view is empty on a computer, there's no further restore. Microsoft doesn't keep a separate backup of personal mailboxes that support can roll back to.

    Still, get an agent to confirm and open a case. Sign in to any Microsoft account, go to support.microsoft.com/home/contact, type "agent support," click Get Help => Ask our Support Assistant. Request to speak to a live agent then click Contact Support at the bottom. Pick Other Products, then Manage Account Security, and choose "Chat with a support agent in your web browser." US business hours.

    Also check Settings > Mail > Rules and Forwarding for anything you didn't set, and use "Sign out everywhere" at account.microsoft.com/security. Don't pay the Bitcoin demand; report it to your local police.

    Note this is a user-to-user forum, so we can't access back-end systems. Happy to help further if the chat route fails.
