I'm using a different email because my Minecraft account has been stolen. I accidentally clicked a fake Discord verification link which prompted me to enter a verification code sent to my email (I'm dumb for sending this code). Unfortunately, someone used that to gain access and change the email address linked to my Minecraft account from mine to another one and somehow, the account that I used to play Minecraft doesn't exist anymore.

I no longer have access to the account, and I can’t use account.live.com to recover it because the hacker has changed the security details and login credentials. I have the transaction ID for the purchase and the email now attached to my Minecraft account appears on my launcher, so i hope these could be used to recover my account.

I tried to reach out for Mojang support, but they can they couldn't do anything to recover my account.

This account means a lot to me, and I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me get it back or guide me through the recovery process.
