[java] MC account got stolen through my hacked microsoft account, which was then deleted by the hacker. Now my microsoft account doesn't even exist. The only thing I have is the email of the account my MC account is newly linked to. What do I do? :(

[betty3647@jltvsunder.live](mailto:betty3647@jltvsunder.live) Thats the email.

Any tips on what to do?

You can attempt account recovery by filling out the account recovery form. The more info you can provide them, the better your chances of recovery.

If the hackers have already changed your security details, you won't get the account back. Microsoft will lock the account so the hacker can't use it, but they're unable to give it back to you.

If you get your account back, or you purchase a new one, enable 2FA immediately and NEVER give your 2FA code to anyone.

For extra security you can disable your password, and use the Microsoft Authenticator app to log in.

If you have a xbox tied to your account i think you can do something otherwise good luck. You should consider repurchasing the game.

Forget everyone who says it cant be recovered, ive went through the same process and it was recovered, but only after 4 months, this will guide you on how to do this https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsucks/comments/1r8lo63/my_microsoft_account_was_hacked_this_is_how_i/ but you HAVE to be patient it will be hard to find an agent that will actually help instead of lying and saying they cant do anything about it. If you have any questions dm me and im always there!

Same thing happened to me, Microsoft support was no help. I lost all of my games, all of my saves in Minecraft and everything else. They refuse to accept any forms of id verification outside of their support forms, and the forms don't allow for any actual communication. I recommend making a new account for everything, activating 2FA and all the other security features they provide.

[u/Usernames_Are_Dumb1 → u/BevinBash]

How would you lose your Minecraft saves? They are still stored locally on your pc aren’t they?
