Urgent: Microsoft Account Compromised – Unable to Access OneDrive

My Microsoft account has been compromised. An unauthorized party changed both my password and the email address to ******@astrophomail.ru, which has completely locked me out of my account.

I no longer have access to my OneDrive, which contains sensitive and important personal files. I have attempted the standard account recovery and self-help options, but none have been successful.

I am unable to find a direct support email or a way to speak with a Microsoft representative regarding a hacked account, which is why I am reaching out this way.

Could you please advise on the next steps to:

Verify my identity

Recover or secure my account

Restore access to my OneDrive

This situation is urgent due to the nature of the files stored in my account.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your guidance on how to proceed.

    I wish I had better news, but when a Microsoft account is hacked, if the hackers change the associated recovery options like the Email, then that account is usually no longer recoverable, this forum is just a user to user account and no-one here has any account access, try using the process they provide on this link to recover a hacked account, if this process is not successful, sadly, that account cannot be recovered.
