Hello Microsoft Support,

I urgently need help. My Microsoft account with the original email ******@gmail.com was hacked on June 1st, 2025. The attacker changed the recovery email to ***@inartmails.ru, which I did not authorize.

I can no longer access my account and I need to recover it as soon as possible.

Additional information:

  • Original email: *****@gmail.com
  • Changed to: ***@inartmails.ru
  • Date of hack: June 1, 2025
  • Location I usually sign in from: [Ha Noi, Vietnam]
  • Minecraft code redeemed on Microsoft Store

I confirm I am the rightful owner of this account. Please guide me through the recovery process.

Best regards,

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For business | Windows

Hi @Đào Đức Thịnh,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A Forum.

Please understand that our forum is a public platform, and we will modify your question to cover your organization domain name in the description. Please notice to hide these personal or organization information next time you post error or some information to protect personal data.

 

I’m truly sorry to hear that your Microsoft account has been compromised. I understand how stressful and frustrating this situation can be, and I want to do my best to guide you through the recovery process. 

  1. To begin, check one more time your account is still logged in on another device. There are a few steps you can try to regain access:  
  • Check trusted devices: If your account is still logged in on another device, such as your phone or computer, you may be able to verify your identity and update security settings.  
  • Review recent account activity: https://account.live.com/activity to check for any unusual login attempts or unauthorized access.  

  

  1. Please visit the official Microsoft account recovery page: Recover your account  
  • There, you’ll find detailed instructions on how to regain access to your account. I encourage you to provide as much accurate information as possible to help with verification.   

 

  1. Contact us via phone service number: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support.  

 

  1. If the above options are not feasible, you can use another personal account to create the ticket to Microsoft Support through Contact - Microsoft Support   

 

If you need further guidance on security or have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am here to support you.
