    Hello, sorry to know about this and I understand that you have encountered an account related issue.

    Please take note that a compromised account is a complex scenario and once the email and phone number has been changed to a different one then it is at the point that it is unrecoverable (even if 2FA is enabled) and Microsoft Support will not be able to help either.

    For this you can go over to this link https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2196140 and most likely it will be followed by doing the account recovery form which is an automated process that you will need to enter every bit of information that you can remember on the account (if this is unsuccessful, the account cannot be recovered) and you can check out the links below for reference.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-recover-a-hacked-or-compromised-microsoft-account-24ca907d-bcdf-a44b-4656-47f0cd89c245

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/help-with-the-microsoft-account-recovery-form-b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/your-microsoft-account-recovery-request-wasn-t-granted-dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53

    Please take note that if 2FA is enabled on your account, ACSR will inform you that your recovery request will be ignored and you will only receive a message that the recovery request is either successful or it will indicate that it has insufficient information and this means that 2FA is disabled. You may keep on trying as many times as you want which is up to two times per day.

    Please take note as well that Microsoft Support will not be able to assist with doing manual recovery, unblocking, and escalation as support agents and advocates are not allowed to send password reset links or access and change account details.

    Start with Microsoft’s Sign-in Helper using the email address, phone number, or Skype name that actually belongs to the Microsoft account owning Minecraft—not the unrelated email supplied to the Discord server.^1^

    Recover the account

    1. Before changing the password, scan the Windows PC
      • Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Scan options.
      • Select Full scan → Scan now.
      Microsoft recommends completing this scan before changing a compromised account’s password.^1^
    2. Run the Sign-in Helper
      • Open the Microsoft Sign-in Helper.
      • Enter the original Microsoft account email, phone number, or Skype name used to sign in to Minecraft.
      • Follow the offered password-reset, recovery, or agent-contact option.
    3. If the original address says the account does not exist
      • Check that its spelling and domain are exact—for example, .com versus .co.uk.
      • Try any other email alias or phone number previously attached to the account.^2^
      • If none is recognized, return to the Sign-in Helper and report that the original username is no longer working.
    4. If directed to the account recovery form
      • Complete it with as much accurate historical information as possible.
      • Microsoft reviews the answers and normally responds within 24 hours.^3^

    Minecraft account access and purchases are tied to the owning Microsoft account, so recovery must be completed through Microsoft rather than through a separate Minecraft password reset.^4^

    If the account is still open on another device

    Do not provide anyone with another verification code. From the existing session:

    1. Open Microsoft account → Security basics → Review activity.
    2. Expand activity you do not recognize and select This wasn’t me or Secure your account, depending on the option displayed.
    3. Change the password.
    4. Remove unfamiliar security information and add your own recovery methods.^5^

    Protect the other email account

    Because its address was given to the Discord server:

    • Change its password immediately if that password was reused anywhere.
    • Enable two-factor authentication.
    • Review its recent sign-in activity and recovery information.
    • Block and report the Discord account/server.
    • Do not pay anyone claiming they can return the Minecraft account.

    If Microsoft’s recovery process cannot verify ownership, support cannot bypass the security checks, send a manual reset link, or directly change account details.^6^
