Hacked account

My Microsoft personal account was compromised by malware. The attacker changed the password, replaced the MFA/security methods, and my original sign-in email now returns “Microsoft account does not exist.” I still have evidence of the account through Minecraft/Xbox activity, previous sign-in alerts, purchase history, and devices. The automated Sign-in Helper does not detect the takeover and the recovery form will not accept my former alias. I need a compromised-account support case opened. This happened to all my linked accounts.

    Note : I am not a Microsoft employee and the responses are based on experiences and best effort.

    Use signup.live.com to create a new account.
    Once you have a new account, you can chat with Microsoft Support about your options.

    If this works for you, please Mark is as an Accepted/Resolved, so that it can aid others as well

    If some part has worked, please add additional notes, so that I(Community) can provide additional support based on additional information.
