My account was seen by Hotmail to be 'hacked' as a program I was using called unenroll.me obviously did something Hotmail didn't like. I got an email about someone using my account and unenroll.me being unlinked from my account at the same time. I was concerned about the recovery email being fake and was waiting until I got onto a PC to check the link before pressing. Getting to work this morning, no Hotmail. I've filled out considerable amounts of personal info for recovery but no dice. One issue is that my old recovery email no longer exists and I hadn't updated it. The level of protection around a lowly free email is just insane. I have less dramas recovery bank logins. So, is this email, which most of my logins and accounts are attached to, is just gone? I can't provide anymore information than I already have. What's required here? Sacrifice of small animals to dark gods, or an interpretative dance where I demonstrate my soul essence to the gods of Hotmail? Oh, and particularly love that when I try to contact support, it says to email them THROUGH THE ACCOUNT THAT HAS BEEN BLOCKED! Tech support has always been one of the seven rings of hell, but now the trend seems to have gone to a very special place where you click madly around a site, looking, looking for this elusive support but never being able to contact anyone, not even a bot. I think I have a better chance of finding the Holy Grail than this mythical support thing you're talking about
TLDR: can I have my goddam Hotmail account back please and is there any option to dial back the insane level of security? Right now I'm at the never ever use Hotmail again level of fury except every tech firm seems to be just as ridiculous.
