Hotmail Account Compromised- Need to update Security Info Now not in 30 days.

30. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: account recovery, Hotmail Account Compromised, security info

Hi I have a customer who has had their Hotmail account compromised twice now.

 

How can I expedite the 30 day waiting period to update security info?

 

I've been able to get control of the account both times by going through the account recovery form.

 

The problem I have is that the person who compromised the account setup their emails under "security info".

 

So when I add the customers secondary email address under the security info and select to remove the other bad email addresses I get:

 

"We have a waiting period for the updates to take effect. on..., we'll delete your old security info:"

 

My problem is that the account will get taken over again if I wait 30days.

 

How do I update the email address now without the 30 day delay?

 

Thanks, in advance to anyone who can assist.

 

Regard,

Andrew

Hotmail Account Compromised – Security Info

01. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: email id, Hotmail Account Compromised, security info
My Hotmail ID was recently compromised and i did not remember the security questions for recovery.

My alternate ID was changed by the person who did this. I managed to recover my mail id by providing the information asked for recovery. But i was unable to update the mail Id which doesn't belong to me and is added in my security info as my alternate Email id to recover if the password is lost.

Hotmail prevents me to change the information stating that "We have a waiting period for the updates to take effect. On 31/8/2013, we'll delete your old security info:

**Removed for security purposes**
Once this is deleted, you'll be able to verify your account with info you have access to. If you didn't make the updates, or if you still have access to the above info, cancel the updates."

My query is if I change my current password will the updation link go to the email id and my account being on risk of being compromised again to the email id of the unknown person in the above mentioned message?

The other person still has access to my email id as my language was changed to some foreign language instead of English after i had it recovered back.

Please reply urgently .

Thanks
