Hacked account

To recover a hacked Xbox account and speak with a representative, use Microsoft’s official account recovery and support channels.

1. Start with the hacked/compromised account guide
   • Go to the official article "How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account" and select Start to open the sign-in helper tool:
     • How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account
   • The tool will ask for the email address or phone number used on the Xbox/Microsoft account and then show self-help steps or options to contact an agent.
2. Use the Sign-in Helper for hacked account issues
   • If the account was deleted or security info was changed, open the Sign-in Helper directly for hacked account issues and support options:
     • Open the Sign-in Helper for support options or hacked account issues
   • Follow the prompts to either:
     • Try self-service recovery, or
     • Be routed to a support agent (chat or call-back) where available.
3. If needed, complete the account recovery form
   • If normal reset options do not work, fill out the Microsoft account recovery form with as much accurate information as possible (old passwords, purchase details, etc.). Guidance is here:
     • Help with the Microsoft account recovery form
   • Microsoft reviews the form and responds to the contact email provided.
4. If someone is using the account for Xbox/Microsoft Store purchases
   • Follow the hacked-account recovery steps above to secure the account.
   • For unauthorized purchases, see:
     • Cancel an order or pre-order from Microsoft Store
     • Prevent unauthorized purchases from Microsoft Store
5. To reach a live support agent
   • Use the Get help/Sign-in Helper flows described above; they can route to:
     • Chat with a support agent in the browser, or
     • A call-back option where available.
   • For purchase-related issues, Microsoft Store Support phone numbers by region are listed here:
     • Help with Microsoft Store purchases

If the automated recovery and forms fail and the hacker has fully replaced the security information, moderator guidance indicates there may be no additional method to recover the account beyond these official tools.
