    Microsoft Account Keeps getting Hacked


    About 3 or 4 times over the last few months my Microsoft Account keeps getting hacked. I receive an email from Microsoft stating someone has changed my password. If this was you do nothing if it was not you change your password. Each time I have done this and that is all that happens. I have also had the same problem with Netflix, Facebook & Google. This morning when I got on my email it has happened again with Microsoft only this time the hacker was able to purchase a Microsoft $100 voucher using my PayPal Account. I have been able to stop this payment and re secure my Paypal account but why does this keep happening even after I change passwords? Any Advice?

    :)
