Answer 1

For a hijacked Microsoft account or device, and possible theft of intellectual property, take these actions immediately:

1. Recover and secure the Microsoft account
   • Use the official Microsoft account recovery process:
     • Go to https://account.live.com/acsr and complete the Microsoft Account Recovery form with as much accurate information as possible (previous passwords, contacts, subject lines, etc.).
   • If the account is hacked or compromised, use the guided helper described in How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account to get self-help or reach an agent.
2. Contact Microsoft Support to speak with an agent
   • Go to the Contact - Microsoft Support page.
   • Search for “Account Recovery” or “Manage Account Security”, then choose Get Help.
   • Scroll down and select Contact Support.
   • When prompted, select the appropriate product (for example, “Other Products” or “Microsoft 365 and Office”) and category such as Manage Account Security.
   • Choose Chat with a support agent in your web browser or any available callback option.
   • If signed out of the compromised account, sign in with a different or new Microsoft account to open the support case.
3. If there are signs of identity theft
   • Follow the guidance in Protecting yourself from identity theft online:
     1. File a police report and keep a copy.
     2. Place a fraud alert on credit reports with a major credit bureau.
     3. Close or secure any accounts that were opened or accessed fraudulently and use new passwords/PINs.
     4. In the U.S., report identity theft to the FTC at https://ftc.gov/idtheft or by calling (877) 438-4338.
     5. Report suspicious or fraudulent incidents to each affected service provider.
4. If a tech support scam or fake “Windows support” message was involved
   • Microsoft does not display phone numbers in error or warning messages and does not make unsolicited support calls.
   • If a pop-up or caller claimed to be “Windows support” and requested remote access or payment, close the browser or hang up and do not pay or share credentials.
   • Report the scam to Microsoft using the tech support scam reporting form at https://www.microsoft.com/reportascam.
5. If Microsoft Defender identity theft monitoring is enabled
   • Open the Defender app and call the restoration support number shown in-app to reach Experian’s 24/7 identity theft monitoring support for Microsoft Defender customers. They can guide remediation and full-service identity restoration if fraud is occurring.
6. For ongoing Outlook/Hotmail or account issues with suspicious drafts or messages
   • Sign in to Outlook.com.
   • Select Help in the ribbon → Help again.
   • Describe the issue in the help pane; if suggestions do not resolve it, scroll down and select Yes under “Still need help”, then choose Chat with a supported agent in your web browser to reach a live agent.

For any interaction, always initiate contact through official Microsoft sites and support flows rather than responding to unsolicited calls, emails, or pop-ups.
