Did someone hack my account microsoft account?

Hi Tony,

There's a possibility that there was an attempt to hack your account, however, as of now, we don't have a way to know and verify who did it. If you're using your for purchasing of apps and games in the Microsoft Store, we suggest checking if there was a
change on your purchased items. We also recommend changing your password to a stronger one, and might as well turn on the two-step verification. Refer to this
article on how to protect your Microsoft account.

Hacking account

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Where are you seeing the attempts to hack your Microsoft account, is that on the recent activity web page on your Microsoft account online on this link?

Sign in to your Microsoft account

if that is where you are seeing it, there is no way for you to stop that, it is some bot online trying to access your account, ensure you have a good long and strong password on your Microsoft account to ensure it cannot be hacked, and it may be a good idea to enable two step verification on your account also, eventually that bot will move on to try to hack someone else's account.
