"Hey guys, just had my Skype account hacked for the second time this month and I'm totally frustrated. The hacker changed my password and email, and I'm locked out. Has anyone else ever dealt with something like this and found a way to recover the account, or do I need to just delete it and start fresh?"

"Lol, sorry to hear that bro. Try checking your email associated with the account, the hackers might've sent a 'login reset' email to try and phish for more info. Also, report the incident to Microsoft, they might be able to help you regain access."

"Dude, have you tried resetting the account via email? If you can't access the account to verify, you can try submitting a support ticket to Microsoft directly. Maybe they can assist you."

"Yikes, hacked account sucks! Did you change your password right away after the hack? Also, make sure you're using 2FA to prevent this in the future."

"Dude, sorry to hear that. If you've set up 2-factor auth or a recovery email on your Skype account, try using those to regain access. Otherwise, you'll probably have to contact Microsoft support and hope they can help you reset it."
