I'm not really sure what to do now...

They hacked both my emails
both my mc accounts (Got my alt back)
They changed the password to my main
My skype
My steam

I'm trying so hard to recover everything, please any suggestions?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

On Skype there isn't a 2fa system yet.

For steam did you use mobile authentication? On your emails, which email service do you use?

Yes there is. If you set it up to login with Skype using a Microsoft Account as opposed to using a username and password, you can then enable 2FA.

And Microsoft does a pretty good job of detecting whether someone else is logging into your account.[DOUBLEPOST=1476434219][/DOUBLEPOST]There's a simple process for recovering Gmail accounts.

As for recovering your Skype, your best bet is to call them or start a live chat session.

Don't even both with Steam Support. You should have used mobile authenticator.

How to not get hacked 101

>Random.org/password or something i forget the link
>24 chars, uppercase, lowercase, numbers
>Dif passwords
>Dont have 2 factor unless it's with a # not registered under your name
>No recov email
>Haveibeenpwned
>Check once 2 weeks
>Change pass if pwned
>Have all pass stored under a secure txt really hidden or a program (where a rat couldnt find)
>Piss people off to test it
>You're done
Or use a simple password manager like LastPass or KeePass. So much easier.
