Urgent: Unsuccessful Attempts and Suspicious Activity on Microsoft Account

Hello Microsoft Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek urgent assistance regarding my Microsoft account, as I have been experiencing a concerning pattern of unsuccessful login attempts and suspicious activity.

Over the past few days, there have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to access my Microsoft account from different locations, including Germany, China, and various other countries. The frequency of these unauthorized login attempts is alarming, and the locations seem to change every hour.

I am deeply concerned about the security of my account and would appreciate any guidance or support you can provide to help me secure it. I have already taken some steps on my end, such as changing my password and enabling two-factor authentication, but the attempts persist.

Is there any additional security measure I can implement to safeguard my Microsoft account further? Additionally, is there a way to track or block these unauthorized login attempts more effectively?

Your prompt assistance in this matter is highly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

Best regards,

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
