    I received a suspicious email purporting to be from One Drive


    Today I received an email from OneDrive <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>. The message said, "Look back on your memories from this day." This email contained images of photos from my One Drive Backup. I was afraid, so I did not allow Thunderbird to unblock remote access to this email message, and I immediately deleted the email. My question is how did someone gain access to my cloud documents and publish on the internet? What and how much do I need to be afraid of? What can I do to protect myself.

    :)

    Suspicious "Welcome to Windows 10" email?

    Hello,

    I came to his page after receiving the same suspicious email.

    I had written a reply asking you to confirm whether the suspicious email originated with Microsoft.

    I just received another, correct email, admitting that an error at Microsoft led to the suspicious email.

    Thank you

    recieved a suspicious email

    could someone please inform me if this email is legit.

    the email I received this morning claimed it was from Microsoft and that they had detected suspicious log in

    the email said "We detected something unusual about a recent sign-in for the Microsoft account
    *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. For example, you might be signing in from a new location, device, or app."

    To help keep you safe, we've blocked access to your inbox, contacts list, and calendar for that sign-in. Please review your recent activity and we'll help you secure your account. To regain access, you'll need to confirm that the recent activity was
    yours.

    is this legit or some sort of hoax email tring to get my personal details ?
