I was playing on the Minemen Minecraft server when a player approached me and asked if I wanted to participate in a 2v2 tournament with them. I agreed, and they asked for my Discord so we could communicate more easily. After I added them, they invited me to a Discord server called “Minemen Events,” which they claimed was hosting the tournament.

They then told me that I needed to authenticate my Minecraft/Microsoft account in order to participate. Believing it was part of the verification process for the tournament, I followed the instructions they provided and signed in with my Microsoft account.

Shortly after that, the person told me they would be away for about five minutes. During that time, I noticed that the phone number linked to my Microsoft account had been removed, and my recovery email was also changed. The attacker then enabled two-factor authentication using their own authenticator app, which locked me out of my account.

I now believe that the “Minemen Events” server was a scam designed to trick players into giving access to their accounts. I did not intentionally share my account with anyone and only followed the instructions because I believed it was a legitimate tournament verification process.
