My was hacked somehow on September 29th, 2017. My gamertag was changed by the hacker to a default xbox tag, and then thankfully my account was able to be logged into again. The account that it was switched to is now a dead account, called.
I'm guessing the hacker sold the gamertag to someone else. I should still be the rightful owner of that gamertag.
I called Microsoft a plentiful amount of times, but their customer service is never any help. I did have two factor authentication enabled. I have no clue how the hacker obtained my codes. Is whoever has my gamertag now. I have Now what I don't understand is, why did Microsoft claim that they weren't able to help?
I had one of the most valuable gamertags on the console think how many Thomas' play xbox-it's obvious people would be after me. Wouldn't they have been able to see my account getting logged in from a different IP, my gamertag being switched, and then me logging back in to my account at home when it was recovered?
I just don't understand. After my account being hacked I stopped playing & gave my xbox to my little brother.
I have recently gotten back into playing and this is still very frustrating 14 months later. If anyone knows anything, it would very much help.Edit—As expected, I’m not getting my gamer tag back. I was given a $10 credit to my account because that’s what it costs to change a gamer tag. Damn shame. I don’t know anything that would help. However O can tell you that Microsoft does have ways of telling when your account is logged into in a different location. I live in NY, a friend of mine (known personally for years) lives in a different state.
I went away for the weekend and needed him to sign in as me to a game for daily rewards. When I came back home I had 3 emails saying my account was logged into from a different location (friends location) on X day at X time and had an option for me to say yes it was me or no it was not. I said it was me because I knew who/what/why my account was logged into. But if they can tell that, then yes they can tell if you logged in or if someone else (different non consistent location) logs in.

But our efforts to validate his claims were cut short by website, which today posted an uncannily similar 'how-to', based on information provided by a source named Jason Coutee.The same Jason? Probably.Coutee and Eurogamer's 'Jason' point the finger at Xbox.com - the website. This allows eight password attempts at a Windows Live ID before CAPTCHA is triggered - the system that presents those squiggly words.
A simple password-generating script can apparently be used to exploit this system before CAPTCHA kicks in.The Windows Live IDs come from playing Xbox 360 games online. Gather Gamertags and Google search them in the hope you'll find related email addresses. Try these as Windows Live IDs and the Xbox.com website will let you know if they're valid - 'the email address or password is incorrect' - or not - 'That Windows Live ID doesn't exist.' Using these methods you can apparently brute force your way into a near-limitless supply of Xbox Live accounts and use their saved banking details to buy Microsoft Points. That's how it sounds.
