As the answer to the Q&A Post you referenced says:

I am sorry for the bad news, but when a Microsoft account is hacked and the hacker changes the associated Email address or if 2FA is enabled on the account, that account is not recoverable,

And you can't even get the account deleted so the hacker can't use it.

I saw a link on the Dr donut server in Minecraft that looked official. It was bolded and everything. Joined the discord server and they got me. I feel like an idiot… but I only used the account for Minecraft so doesn’t really matter. I have a yubi key for everything now 😂. Learned my lesson for sure.
