I really really need y’alls help. My Steam, Microsoft, Google and probably more (?) have been hijacked a few days back and I only just now noticed. First thing I did was change my Google password + added 2FA and succeeded, but since he had access to my gmail he changed my microsoft and steam password AND email to one of his, so I can’t recover those. I found no way to contact steam or microsoft directly but saw a steam page that said if I have info proving it’s my account (last 4 digits of credit card, billing address, etc) I could recover it, dunno how to send them this info though. Same with microsoft

Is there a security step that I should take other than just changing my passwords and adding 2FA to whatever I can? I sadly use my google password for mostly everything so that’s how he accessed it all.

#

What I find weird is when I try to log into MS it tells me to email to HIS EMAIL to verify myself when ive clearly logged into mine, why cant it send a code to my email to verify???

#

Also been getting this message 😨 (btw this is the account im currently using on the windows pc, so theres no way it doesnt exist)
