      My Minecraft Java edition account got hacked. Not sure how. Pretty unique password. I got it back under control, changed my password, and changed my security questions. But the hacker also changed my profile name, and the Mojang accounts page won't let me change it back for 30 days.

      It's one thing to prevent users from constantly changing their profile name. But account hacks are not exactly an unheardof event; there are whole lists of hacked Minecraft accounts people can download. Those of us who got hacked should not be forced to use some hacker's stupid profile name just because of Mojang's security problems. Please allow victims of hacking to undo the damage done by hackers.
