My son’s Microsoft account was hacked.

The primary alias was changed to a russian email and the original email removed.

I have the security confirmation email as proof.

The recovery form links to a new empty account.

I need the original account restored.

    I wish I had better news, but when a Microsoft account is hacked, if the hackers change the associated 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.
