I got hacked and when I tried to log back in, the account doesn't exist anymore. It's linked to some russian email, and when I try to recover my account it says the account does not exist. Anything I can do to recover it?

Hi,
It is possible that the hacker has already changed and deleted your email address. In this case, recovering your account can be very difficult, and it may be permanently lost. I understand that this is a frustrating situation. You can check the Microsoft article below to see if it can help.
The link provides comprehensive steps to recover a hacked account and also gives you the option to chat with Microsoft Support as a last resort.
Hey, so I entered my email, but it says the microsoft account does not exist. Any solutions?
Thanks for your reply. It doesn’t exist because the hacker already changed your email address and deleted it. I’m afraid your account is now lost and can’t be recovered.
