Hotmail Hacked

[Nismo GTR]

As above when trying to sign into my account i was met with the password is incorrect and could not sign in. I know i had not changed it and have used the account for years now. I tried the reset password option but it would not work, i then filled out the validation form now and both times it said it could take upto 24 hours for a code to be sent that would allow me to reset my password.

This is now going on 3 days ago. I have since joined upto the Hotmail forums and posted there. But the lack of support in this is frankly disgusting considering the size of Microsoft. They have basically replied and told me to do everything i already have. Why would i be on their forums otherwise for gods sake.

They are saying it also looks fine their end....what? How can it be fine when i can not gain access. The amount of numbers i have tried to at least try and speak to someone is beyond me, most leading to dead lines or just no answer.

I did a fresh install of windows just to be safe. But now i have lost access to basically everything. That email was used for everything basically. I can not use my Steam account as it wants to send a code to my email to verify it's me. Same goes with Origin, i can not sign in as my password has changed. It has effected my Youtube and gMail account. Really i am seriously annoyed.

Does anyone have any experience here with this and know of any decent contact numbers or just any advice on what to do.

I have put hundreds of pounds into my steam account and Origin and really do not want to lose it all.

1) Have you tried accessing your email from another computer on the same internet?

2) Have you tried accessing your account from a different computer at a different location???

3) It is my understanding....That one of the advantages of steam is you can access your account from any computer. In other words, if you bought a new computer, you install steam, install your games from disks and you are good to go.
