Does anyone get this issue where you get hacked on everything and I keep changing the email on every site he still manages to get in and this happened to my last Microsoft account. If there's any experts please help.

    Thank you very much for reaching out! As an Independent Advisor and fellow Microsoft user, I'm more than happy to assist you.

    Make sure you checked all these steps:

    1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring a second form of verification.
    2. Run a Full Virus Scan: Ensure your PC is free from malware or viruses that could be compromising your security. (Formatting would remove anything Windows Defender couldn't find which I recommend.)
    3. Uninstall anything suspicious you downloaded recently.
    4. Sign Out of All Devices: Go to your Microsoft account settings and sign out of all devices to ensure no unauthorized access.
    5. Change Your Password: Update your password to something strong and unique. Avoid using the same password across multiple sites.

    You are either accessing/downloading from dubious web sites or dont have a mainstream branded AV/Securityy app - you cannot rely on Defender.
