Someone keeps trying to access my MS account
Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through and buying a physical key like yubico to further secure my account. Any tips are appreciated.
I saw that this morning from 6AM to 1:30PM had people from IPs all over Europe trying to login. Failing luckily but I’m glad to see I’m not the only one.
Actually after looking at the logs it non-stop every hour for days and days. Odd that I only got like 7 emails about the code this morning and not the thousands of other times.
I’m seeing Poland, Germany, Turkey and China.
Fwiw I had a similar flurry of failed attempts from exactly those countries a few days ago.
