Outlook live / personal draft sextorsion can't be stopped - support unhelpful

I'm helping a friend getting rid of a outlook hack.

The problem is:

  • 3 drafts per seconds getting created in draft folder, then moved to inbox and pinned urgent.
  • Email getting "corrupted" by the sextortion message.
  • Email being sent by the mailbox

I've done all possible fixes:

  • Rotated password
  • Removed consented apps
  • Activated 2fa
  • Removes devices
  • Removed rules
  • Removed transfers
  • Deactivated pop/imap
  • Sign out of everywhere
  • cleared todo (There was nothing)
  • cleared calendars

I know it is like a common occurent since ~2026, there is a lot of post with same thing happening, but no clear resolution anywhere.

I tried to contact Microsoft and..

They've been unhelpful, sorry for my attitude i hate appologetic customer support, it's not helping.

Anyone know what to do, should we just.. wait it out like this support said. I feel like they were just trying to get rid of me..

What's pissing me off is that real email are getting obliterated and i can't export anything because now opening the mailbox is a miracle with the 100 000+ drafts present.

ps: Was this an AI? I wrote in english, it answered in french. I'm bilingual so i did not care really, my friend's account wich i was logged is in french. And then switch to english.
