Hacked email

If your email account has been hacked and you're experiencing issues accessing it, there are several steps you can take to try to recover it:

1. Reset Your Password: If you haven't already, attempt to reset your password using the "Forgot Password" option on the Microsoft sign-in page. This will help regain access if the password was changed by the attacker.
2. Check for Account Recovery Options: When trying to sign in, look for options to verify your identity. This may involve answering security questions or receiving a verification code via SMS or an alternate email.
3. Review Account Activity: If you can access the account, check the recent activity for any unauthorized changes or actions. This can help you understand what has been altered or deleted.
4. Contact Microsoft Support: If you're still unable to access your account, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for assistance. They may be able to help you recover your account or provide further guidance.
5. Secure Your Account: Once you regain access, enable multifactor authentication (MFA) to enhance security and prevent future unauthorized access. Change your password to a strong, unique one and review any suspicious activity.
6. Investigate Further: If you suspect that the hacker has set up forwarding rules or other means to maintain access, you may need to investigate further. You can check for suspicious inbox rules or any changes to your account settings.

If you follow these steps, you may be able to recover your email account and secure it against future attacks.
