Agh. So my sons account was hacked by a Russian person using Rambler. I have been back and forth with microsoft for days- they claimed they would lock the account and account specialist would contact us. We have heard nothing and no help meanwhile today the person who hacked was on a game. My credit cards, 2 years of game pass paid for, and hundreds of dollars in games someone else is using. They aren’t much help and they just give excuses and lie. Its ridiculous and the messed up part—- they hacked my email that has 2 step and his account. Talk about feeling violated and no help for the consumers.
