Hi, my friend's account has been hacked and the hacker has changed the email and security question and removed all of security information. Can you help her to reach her account or deactivate her account please?

Thank you

You don't say what kind of account it is (email, facebook, something else?) but assuming it's some sort of social network or email, she should contact the site's technical support and explain the problem. She will probably be asked to provide additional proof of identity and/or of previous ownership of the email (Microsoft for example ask for names of some people who emailed you recently), but will then restore the account to her or deactivate it. It may take a few days to get it sorted, but she should persist.
