Phishing attempt, log onto your Microsoft account > https://account.live.com/Activity?mkt=en-GB&re... and see how many unsuccessful attempts there are.

I have literally thousands of unsuccessful sign-in attempts. I've secured my account via the Microsoft Authenticator MFA method. Can only sign in with the use of my phone.

But as above, this is definitely someone trying to gain access to your account.

Just logged into my account to check what has been going on......




I get a code sent to my phone to log in so pretty sure the account is secure
