I don't even know what to do, I started the minecraft launcher one day and then it logged me out of my microsoft account. I checked and someone "el**@jerkoffmail.com" is associated to the account. I tried setting up 2FA but it wouldn't send me the code to my account so couldn't even log in on mobile? Am I cooked? Just got Minecraft after a few years and it would really suck if I just wasted 30 dollars to play it for 2 days, if anyone can help that would be nice.

    It sounds like your Microsoft account has been compromised, and you are unable to regain access due to the hacker changing the associated email and potentially disabling your two-factor authentication (2FA). Here are some steps you can take to try to recover your account:

    1. Use the Microsoft Account Recovery Form: Go to the Microsoft account recovery form and fill it out with as much information as possible. This includes old passwords, purchase information, and any other details that can help prove your identity.
    2. Contact Microsoft Support: If the recovery form does not work, you can try to contact Microsoft Support directly. You can sign in with any Microsoft account to reach out to them, or create a new account if necessary. Provide them with all relevant information regarding your situation.
    3. Reach Out to Minecraft Support: Since your account is linked to Minecraft, consider contacting Minecraft Support as well. They may have additional options for account recovery related to your game purchases.
    4. Secure Your Account: If you regain access, make sure to enable two-factor authentication and change your password to something strong and unique. Also, review any security settings to ensure no unauthorized changes have been made.
    5. Monitor Your Accounts: Keep an eye on any other accounts that may be linked to your Microsoft account for unusual activity.

    While it can be frustrating, following these steps gives you the best chance of recovering your account and securing it against future attacks.
