Can't access account due to account email being hacked. Help?
I've had a Dropbox account for several years, and pay for Plus. It is not this account that I am logged in under now, as I cannot access my actual account. I have had a MSFT, Hotmail email address (which is my login address for that account) since I established the Dropbox account, and was hacked yesterday through that email account which they disabled and destroyed. Thus, I now cannot get into my Dropbox account, since dropbox is requiring a two-step verification process, with a code sent to the now disbaled email address that I have no way to access. It is very, VERY important to get back into this dropbox account, which I was using up until yesterday. Please, PLEASE.....Can anyone help?

Hey there, thefloodproject, let's jump right into this!
I think that the best course of action here, would be for us to continue this convo via email.
We might need some account-sensitive info, and some added tools in order to investigate your case.
Would you mind if I was to reach out internally in order for us to have a closer look into this?
Keep me posted!
