Azure Account compromised

Dear Team,

My Azure account has been compromised. An unauthorized party gained access, removed my Owner-level permissions, and downgraded my account to Reader. The attacker has also created two high-specification virtual machines, which may result in significant and ongoing financial impact.

At this moment, I am unable to take corrective action due to insufficient permissions. I am also unable to open a support ticket, as Azure support requires elevated access that I no longer have.

This situation is extremely urgent. Unfortunately, I have found no effective support channel—no working phone number, no direct support email, and the only apparent option is to post on community forums and wait days for a response. This is unacceptable for a security incident of this severity.

I request immediate intervention to:

Verify the account compromise

Restore my Owner or Global Administrator access

Investigate and suspend any unauthorized resources

Prevent further financial and security damage

Please contact me urgently to proceed with identity verification and recovery.

I expect this incident to be handled as a critical security escalation.
