Windows 10: My account has been under attack for many months.

Hello. I have been receiving emails every single day now for what seems like the last six months. “ We received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account.” I am not happy with this. I have added two step authentication, and tried looking through all the settings in my microsoft account to be more secure. I no longer wish for these emails to come to my inbox unless I am the one requesting a single use code.

About Ransomware attack

Here is Microsoft's Customer Guidance on the Ransomware Attack:

• In March, we released a security update which addresses the vulnerability that these attacks are exploiting. Those who have Windows Update enabled are protected against attacks on this vulnerability. For those organizations who have not yet applied the
  security update, we suggest you immediately deploy Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010.

• For customers using Windows Defender, we released an update earlier today which detects this threat as Ransom:Win32/WannaCrypt.
  As an additional “defense-in-depth” measure, keep up-to-date anti-malware software installed on your machines. Customers running anti-malware software from any number of security companies can confirm with their provider, that they are protected.

• This attack type may evolve over time, so any additional defense-in-depth strategies will provide additional protections. (For example, to further protect against SMBv1 attacks, customers
  should consider blocking legacy protocols on their networks).
