My account has gotten hacked! However, I have been unable to get help as AI has turned me down due to not being enough evidence. I have evidence of my ownership such as detail screenshots hell even third party account linked to the account, and still nothing. Forms do not work and when I try to contact via phone I'm met with AI which closes the call on me or sends me back to the same infinite loop again.

What can I do in order to contact a human so they may assist in my problem? And please do not link me the forms again, I have tried and the AI always rejects my request despite filling the entire form.

This treatment to Microsoft's long standing and paying customers is highly unprofessional and should not take weeks to get any real help.

    If an attacker successfully changed the email address and the password for your account, and you did not setup multifactor authentication, I'm very sorry to tell you: your account is gone. There is nothing that Microsoft can do to change that.

    You can show Microsoft any number of detailed screenshots and linked third party accounts - so can your attacker, because they own your account and have access to all the information in your account. They are now you, insofar as your account is concerned.

    No one at Microsoft has met you, to be able to distinguish you from anyone else. For cloud accounts like a Microsoft account or a Google account or an Apple account, etc., whoever has the right username and password owns the account.

    Even if you were somehow able to retrieve your account, are you sure you'd want it? Your attacker could have sent out millions of spam messages in your name, or used the payment card in your account (if any) to make fraudulent purchases, or who knows what else, using the information that is stored in your account.

    You must take steps to protect your identity. While you are spending time going in circles with AI bots and filling out forms, your attacker has free reign over your account. Protect yourself!

    Hi! Unfortunately, in this situation, Microsoft support agents are unable to assist directly. They will inform you that you must successfully complete the account recovery form in order to regain access. I understand how challenging this can be, but it is in place to protect your account. Ultimately, only the information you provide through the recovery form can be used to verify that you are the rightful owner of the account.

    To contact a real person at Microsoft for assistance with your hacked account, you can follow these steps:

    1. Use the Microsoft Support Portal: Go to the Microsoft Support page and use the virtual agent to describe your issue. Look for options related to account recovery or compromised accounts. This may lead you to a chat option where you can speak to a support agent.
    2. Direct Phone Contact: If you prefer to call, you can try the following numbers:
      • General Microsoft support: 1-800-865-9408
      • Microsoft Customer Service & Technical Support: 1-800-642-7676
      • Microsoft Store Sales & Customer Support: 1-877-696-1786 When calling, be prepared to explain your situation clearly and provide any evidence of your account ownership.
    3. Persistent Attempts: If you encounter automated responses, try calling at different times or using different devices. Sometimes, the system may route you differently based on your previous interactions.
    4. Social Media: You may also consider reaching out to Microsoft Support through their official social media channels, such as Twitter. They often respond to inquiries made publicly or via direct messages.
    5. Community Forums: Engaging in Microsoft community forums can sometimes yield responses from Microsoft representatives or other users who have faced similar issues.

    It's important to remain persistent and patient, as account recovery processes can be complex, especially if there are security concerns involved.
