Hacked

    If there hasn't been a response after a few days or if you're in any way concerned the case may have fallen through for whatever reason (maybe technical issues, etc), get back in touch with the support team by creating a new case and referencing the case number for the one you're concerned about.

    I can't find any "Contact Us" option. Everything requires a verification sent to me by email, but the hacker changed the email address! I'm only able to login because I have it linked to my Xbox account, which probably will be unlinked. How can I recover this account and get the email and password changed back?
    [edit: email address removed]
