I am writing to urgently report a critical security breach and request immediate assistance. My Azure account has been deactivated following unauthorized activities and I am facing a billing issue of thousands of dolars for services I did not request or authorize.

I received an alarming email stating that unusual activities were detected in my Azure subscription. Upon investigating, I discovered that virtual machines and deployments had been created by an unknown user. I do not recognize this user, and these actions were done without my knowledge or consent. As a result, my account has been compromised and is now deactivated, leaving me without access to vital services.

Worse, I am now being billed for resources I did not provision, amounting to thousands of dollars—an expense I simply cannot pay and am not responsible for.
