Windows 10: Why is my account constantly being attacked?

My Microsoft account is very valuable to me, because it contains all my apps and games, but the problem is that someone, a bot, or a group of people, for months together, have been trying to hack my account. I have 8 sign-in methods and a 16-digit password, but they have been trying for months. I own another Microsoft account, and it is not being hacked. Why is this one being hacked? It stresses me, because I have been dealing with this for months and weeks, and they haven't stopped. Even though the data isn't that important, I would like to know two things. I have already contacted Microsoft

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).
