I think my Microsoft account has been hacked.

Estoy notando que estaba llegando correos de códigos de seguridad de otros países y yo vivo en Ecuador y me siento inseguro por mis datos personales

I am noticing that I was receiving emails with security codes from other countries and I live in Ecuador and I feel insecure about my personal data

This is very common. Anyone who knows the address can try to login to your account.

Verify that you are using a strong password and/or are using two step verification.

My Microsoft Account has been hacked and I don't know how it happened. My account that has been hacked was using the same email I'm using for this one. It has been a relatively long time since it happened, but now i can't access it. It just happened from a day to the other, and i simply couldn't access it. When it happened, ****

i tried to enter with the email i'm using for this account and it said i didn't have any account with this email. And, somhow, when i tried with another method, imanaged to get this email: "georgii_gushchin9056" with the end: "@rambler.ru"I think the russian guy that hacked my account put his email as an alias and deleted mine.

The only thing i bought was Minecraft, both for PC (the Java one) and the Windows 10 edition. (I bought through Microsoft Store, i think.)

I hope you can help me, or else i'll have to spend R$100 (i'm from Brazil) on Minecraft again.

There is no way for you to recover this account. Sorry.

And since people ask...

Microsoft Support contacted via phone or chat won't be able to help you with this.

In this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/contacting-support-for-a-microsoft-account-bb65aa6a-9135-31df-0b36-d6318d6f4e0f 

is the warning that
