    Microsoft account under constant hacking attempts


    I am constantly getting emails from Microsoft with a one time access key for my Microsoft account only I haven't requested these. When I look in my "unusual behaviour" tab in my account settings it show literally hundreds of attempts to access my details from all over the world obviously using a VPN.When I try to do anything about these it says "don't worry this attempt was unsuccessful" but there is no way to deal with this barrage of attempts, again litteraly hundreds of attempts every day.Thank you in advance.

    :)

    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.

    Let us know if you need anything else. We're here to help.
