One of my microsoft accounts has been hacked by someone and they leaked devices that were connected to a different microsoft account. I was wondering how they were able to know about the device models when it wasn't even connected to the account that was hacked. Also how can I resolve this or deactivate the hacked account so he doesn't do anything with my personal information.

    Hello,

    To recover a hacked account, you might use this link:

    How to close your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

    Microsoft allows users to link multiple accounts, either for family sharing or other purposes. If you've linked your compromised account with another Microsoft account at some point, the hacker could have accessed information from the linked account as well, including devices connected to it. Or they could obtain the information from your E-mails etc.

    Microsoft account dashboard on the dashboard, we can find devices connected to account.

    Later you may try two-step verification, it helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your Microsoft account.How to use two-step verification with your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support
