Hello,

My personal email account has been compromised last night. I was able to get the password changed this morning, but the hacker had linked his email to mine, and now Hotmail forces me to wait 30 days before I can unlink his email. Is there any way to get rid of the account immediately or to reduce this time to less than 5 days? I want to set up two-step login verification to prevent future hackers as well but it won't let me because of this. Plus, I don't want to give any more information to this hacker, which I am doing as long as he still has his account linked to mine.

Please let me know if you are able to help! Any advice would be much appreciated. Mods, please PM me for the email account (as it normally gets edited out anyway) and other information.

Thanks,

-A
