I feel there may still be an underlying issue (although I seem to have now secured the gaming website and Microsoft which was the main thing), I just logged in to my tesco mobile website to look at upgrades and when I went into my email account tesco had sent me a security message asking if it was me that just made a log in to their site. Perhaps I’m just getting paranoid though 🤣🤷🏼♀️

Yes anyone will try it on, I have had people ring my sister's landline and pretend to be from BT. Luckily I know how to deal with it, the next it happens I will mess them around for as long as possible.
Mum used to pass them onto me, and I will waste as much time for the scam artists as I can.
Yep the old Microsoft one is old, my sister was even clever enough to allow a remote session (told me afterwards). I thought she had more sense that, but as my dad used to used to say "Common sense is not very common". I said to her, you should have given all your usernames, passwords, card details and CVC codes whilst you were there! I don't think she saw the funny side of that, but I meant it.
When my mum used to get them, she'd pass them onto me and I would wind them up with basic technical questions.

"We're phoning about the car accident." "Oh, the one two months ago?" "Yes, you may claim compensation for any injuries, time off work and other financial losses."
"I don't think that will be possibly, I was killed in that one!".

We’ve had no more issues on the Xbox.
Every single password, in excess of 70, stored in my keychain on my phone had been comromised. I’ve deleted or changed the passwords accordingly and since then had no further issue. Thanks to everyone that helped xx

I just don’t know how all my passwords got hacked...obviously it started from my sons outlook account getting hacked and the progressed from there....I know my iPhone 6 must have got hacked as every single stored password was compromised...my phone called it a data breach. There were over 70 passwords. I can only think that I use my iPhone for everything, including my sons things (Microsoft login, outlook, Instagram etc as he is only 11 and it’s just easier for me to set things up!!). I’ve actually deleted most of the passwords now or made new ones. Interestingly, there were several hacked passwords that had had someone log in (not me ) as the date shown to be last logged in was 14 November. They were mainly American ones I had on there, like Hard Rock Hotel, Disney , Norwegian Air. Worryingly also my PAYE/HMRC.
I’m hoping now that I have a new phone and changed passwords we can now move on as it’s been awful. Incidentally we know who the hacker is..it was an American bloke who was a follower on Instagram...he messaged my son to say what he had done....absolutely unbelievable.
