Some users of the mail.ru service who have become victims of a hacked mailbox or simply forgot their password, want to get rid of their account. And they do not succeed, because it is impossible to delete the mail.ru box without knowing the password. After all, in order to delete a mailbox, the user must have access to it. And there is no access because the password was forgotten. Vicious circle.
Instructions
Step 1
The solution is actually simple. But first, you need to remember what not to do. Do not write to your own mailbox: "Get my account back!", Because there will be no answer. If the mailbox is stolen, then it is probably used to send spam, that is, it is served by a robotic program, and no one alive enters there. And if you just forgot your password, then your angry letters will be just a conversation with emptiness.
Step 2
Don't hire "tough hackers" who promise to break into a stolen box and return it to you for a fee. More often than not, such people simply take the money and disappear. The days of the great burglars who were able to hack into the mail service and steal passwords from mailboxes from there are long gone. All methods of hacking email accounts now represent the so-called social engineering, that is, interaction with living people.
Step 3
Remember when you could "give" your password to an intruder: you followed a fake link to a viral site, downloaded a spyware program with dubious files, entered your username and password where it was not necessary. But if these methods help to steal a box from a person, then there is no way to steal a box from a robot. He does not follow links, read emails, download files, and enter login and password on fake sites. He only sends spam. And therefore, it is also not worth contacting burglars: they either simply lie, or do not have sufficient qualifications to complete the task, which means they also lie.
Step 4
You have only one real way to regain control over your mailbox - go to the mail.ru support page: https://help.mail.ru/mail-support/login. Contact the specialists of this service and ask to regain the lost control over your account. To do this, you will need to remember the data that you provided when registering your account. If you are okay with this, the support service will help you. And having gained access to the mailbox, you can already choose: either it is better to protect your mailbox and behave more carefully on the network, or delete it permanently.
