About Account Recovery
It’s not uncommon for www.hotmail.co.uk login accounts to get deleted. Recovering a deleted Hotmail account is made easier by the service allowing you to save your login information so that when an account is set up, it will be restored with all of the saved passwords and details.
What Happens When A Hacked Account Is Deleted?
When an account is hacked or compromised, any data stored in this email address may then be accessed without permission from Microsoft Security Operations Center (MSOC). In order to protect against unauthorized access, MSOC recommends deleting these accounts as soon as possible through one of two methods:
- Recover the user’s original password using the Password Reset process. If successful, contact [email protected] and they will then delete the account.
- Recovering it using a security contact email address listed in your account profile by sending an email to [email protected] In both cases, MSOC recommends that you create another Microsoft Account for future use rather than restoring the original password because of how the process could affect other accounts on Windows devices or services like OneDrive or Cortana.
