Urgent: Suspected Azure Account Compromise — Unauthorized Charges

I am a university student and I need urgent help with a suspected compromise of my Microsoft/Azure account and a very large unauthorized Azure bill.

I had not actively used my Azure account for a long period. I recently logged into Azure and discovered that my Azure credits, which I had received for my academic/learning use, had been completely consumed. I then discovered Azure AI Foundry resources that I did not create or authorize.

The current Azure billing page shows approximately ₹5,420,835.92 (₹54.2 lakh / approximately USD $60K) for the billing period August 1–31, 2026.

I have already deleted the Foundry resources that I found in order to prevent any further unauthorized usage.

There is additional context that makes me believe this is part of a broader compromise. Over the past several weeks/month or so, I have also had reason to believe that some of my other personal accounts and services have been compromised or accessed without my authorization, including email and other online services. I have also had concerns regarding my banking/payment security. Because of these concerns, I had already deactivated/frozen all of my cards, including the card associated with my Azure account.

I only recently realized that my Azure account itself had also been misused.

I am currently a student and do not have the financial ability to pay a ₹54.2 lakh Azure bill. More importantly, I did not authorize the Azure usage that generated these charges and I am formally disputing the entire amount.

I would like to ask the Azure community and Microsoft staff:

What is the correct procedure for reporting this as unauthorized Azure usage/account compromise?

1. Can Microsoft temporarily deactivate or secure the subscription to prevent any further usage?
2. If the usage is confirmed to have resulted from unauthorized access, what is the process for having the

I have not intentionally used the resources responsible for these charges. I am willing to provide Microsoft with whatever information is necessary to investigate the incident.

I would appreciate guidance from the Azure community on the appropriate escalation path for a case of this size.

I am particularly concerned because the amount is far beyond anything I could possibly pay, and I want to resolve this properly rather than simply ignore the bill.
