Is Account theft sued?

My buddy lost his account through a hacker. By the way, the account was from Epic Games for Fortnite. Anyway, the hacker has contacted us because our number in the profile was inside. He said he does not want to give us the data again because there are rare items like Renegade Raider or something else on it. That's why his mother wants to go to the police, and I wanted to ask if that's possible. Is that why you can file a lawsuit? Are they talking ads? Please answer quickly, thank you!

Has anyone been actively harmed? Say for example lost money?

It goes.Ps: call the support of Epicfames.

Yes, he even bought something 1 time.

We have, the support does not help us.
