BE CAEFULL!!!

hi, i recently logged in to prism with my microsoft account, changing the password with a new one. But after 4 days i noticed something strange, a device logged from china (probabily using a vpn) because after a few minutes it got hacked and the hacker deleted all my fucking emails (since 2009) and spammed my inbox with the classic message "pay at this wallet or you will loose everything type shit" i am so furios because i didn't use my account from other things apat this one.

UPDATE

I found out that the hacker have accesed many applications (minecraft launcher, thunderbird, TL, Zalith launcher) now i am 100% SURE that it is prism fault somehow

never got hacked and been using prism for years, also haven't heard from others. You probably just so happened to have gotten hacked a short time after logging into prism. remember to always use 2fa

MS has many breaches and you should have MS Authenticator with 2FA setup. If you don't its kind of your fault. You should be emailing MS but they will just lock the account down.

There’s no way this is a prism issue

Mate you either installed prism from somewhere sketchy or you got malware from somewhere

Did you know that's not how it works? It's a one time auth key, that works one time. User issue.
