Hey everyone, I was chatting with someone on Minecraft Hypixel who offered me VIP status if I joined their Discord server. They asked me to verify my account and add some verifications to my Microsoft account. I logged in, but then they took over my account, switched my email, and now I can't access it anymore. I thought it was a scam, but I figured Microsoft's security was strong. Now I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Any advice would be super helpful!

Take a breath and think this through. It can be overwhelming, but reacting calmly is crucial. It's tough, but you did give them your details, which is a way they could get in without hacking directly.
It sounds like you fell for a classic scam. No one was really offering you VIP; they tricked you into giving up your login info. Microsoft's security is solid, but it can only protect you if you don’t share your credentials.
Yeah, it's more about social engineering than actual hacking. Just remember to be cautious next time!
