I just want to check if my account has been hacked...

My email wouldn't let me connect until I gave my cell phone number so that I could receive a security code. I got the code to the following number: + 447786209750. Is it a scam?

You should ask this question in the eamil article here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum?tab=unanswered

BTW it is probably legitimate.

    Know that it is a forum for peer-to-peer.  You don't talk to Microsoft directly here.

    The real answer is that you can * never * regain access to your account, because there may be no real connection you can prove between you (as an individual) and the account you are trying to access.

    Probably you have not paid to the account, the password was probably not difficult (or if it had probably been changed lately) and once it's been hacked (if it was) a sneaky/destroyer hacker would have just erased everything on it and started using it to spam all what they whomeever they wanted.  Although there is a chance that it does not - the chance is equal that he did - if you * are * able to prove somehow this account is linked to you in a meaningful way (this way to be determined by the Microsoft support) and are then able to restore access to the account - you can always get nothing back, you have not backed up elsewhere (backups - they are good for ALL of your electronic data).

    Having given you the worst of it - here's what I suggest:

  • My Hotmail account has been hacked and translated into Arabic... even my contacts. I need English translation assistance.

    My Hotmail account has been hacked... and the pirates were obviously Arabic because they were able to get not only me, but all my contacts.  I was finally able to reset my password late last night.  But now when I go on my Hotmail I can't read my emails or anything like that because it's in Arabic, as are all my contacts.  I need to translate it into English, but I can't pass on each of these sites to you because all the titles at the top telling me 'before '... "delete", "Exit" is in Arabic and I do not read or speak the language.  This is why I can't convey all these pages to Bing or Google for a translation.  I need my account set to be translated into English.

  • Account has been hacked!

    My hotmail account has been hacked, as was my facebook that I luckily managed to connect to another email. However, the hacker has changed my password on my hotmail and my scurity question has also been changed. The mobile phone number, I recorded with my hotmail account is very old and is a number that I don't use anymore so I can't access it. I tried to get help on the hotmail Web site, but it keeps sending me round in circles and ulitmately take back me to the 'reset password' which, of course, I can't do. I want to delete my account or a new password sent to my hotmail account. I need help, thanks!

    No one here can help you.  If you can't get help via http://windowslivehelp.com/ then post your problem to the Hotmail Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/hotmail) and maybe you will get a response there.

    You don't have some guilt here because you have neglected to keep your recovery to update information.  If recover you your account, make sure that your password is complex (superior at least ten and letters lower case letters, numbers and punctuation marks) and unguessable via a dictionary attack, you do not answer the security questions with answers that can be found by searching for (i.e. answer you incorrectly so that no one can guess the answer) and specify multiple addresses so that an attacker cannot insert its own without you know about it.  In addition, never use Hotmail in a public network without using an encrypted connection (https).

  • My Windows Live Hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security.

    How can I delete an email without sending a confirmation to this account?  My hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security.  To remove the address, the only apparent is to send a confirmation email to the address I want to delete.  It is counterproductive.  I have a password, but if they can obtain the information via another email address, my account is never going to be safe.   I got this address for a long time and do not want to lose.  However, he begins to feel that my only option is to go with another provider.
