I wish my sister were as principled. She and I created our accounts back in 2010. Being simple kids we used our names, mine was taken so I modified it. Hers wasn’t, so she ended up with an “OG username”.

Long story short that OG username resulted in her email accounts and Minecraft account getting stolen, with the assholes threatening to hack her bank accounts if she recovered it. I worked with her to secure all her stuff and she recovered her account. The “hackers” then harassed her for a few months and eventually gave up.

A couple years later it got stolen again. How? One of her old emails on the account was a custom one she made. The domain expired and someone registered it and used that to recover the account somehow (even though it wasn’t the email on the account at the time).

She contacted Mojang again, and they basically just closed the account because it had been stolen twice.

Instead of fighting my sister just made a new account and bought the game again…
