  1. How to recover an account without having access to the original recovery email?


    For some reason Microsoft decided to lock me out of my account and make me submit a forum, confirming my identity. But of course, the information I provided was not sufficient to regain access to my account. I have called customer support an uncountable number of times trying to get ahold of an actual human, at this point I am convinced that Microsoft does not have one single person in customer or technical support. I do not have access to my original recovery email because it was deleted by its organization. There are countless amounts of spent money linked to that account and linked accounts

    :)

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    email account hacked. please help

    I have a yahoo email account that seems to be hacked. Following are hacking activities I have noticed.

    1) Spam emails being sent from my account to my account and my recovery email account.
    2) Recent emails in inbox are missing
    3) New emails in deleted mails folder

    I have reset passwords for both my email account and recovery email account and also re-installed my mac but still spam emails are being sent from my account to my account and my recovery email account.

    My mac was not even turned on when those emails were being sent. No one else knows my password. I do access mail from my iphone and ipad too.

    Its my primary email account please help.

    Thanks
