Has Microsoft E-Tree Been Exploited?

A handful of new users jumped to the top of the leaderboard with round-number points in the millions. Disconcerting to legitimate and dedicated users. Suspicious and conspicuous. Current number 6, Yggdrasil, was in clear first place, at least for the last few months.

    I keep sending MS Edge Feeback team screengrabs, my side bar says level 7 and the MS weather app says level 4... now they are not synchronizing.

    The side bar app works fine on one PC but not the other i get the same message as Jocelyn.

    Try logging into edge from someone else's computer "Other Profiles" this worked for me

    Keep reporting till someone at MS sorts it?

    I'm at 57 trees with 565 820 points, with rank 100+ I've never been in the top 50. but for some time, earlier this year, the leaderboards stopped working and I slowly climbed my way be in the top without showing it up and then it got an update and fell back to 100+. I was able for some time to use the E-Tree from the sidebar but for some time, I'm now having this error message:

    Hmmm… can't reach this page

    It looks like the webpage at edge://etree/?sharedHeader=1 might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_INVALID_URL

    And now, working slowly on my next E-Tree, it now jumped up from 10 000 to 50 000 and I can't even get the 5k+ anymore from each new tree from the sidebar. Everyone else also need 50k poinrs for each tree now?

    I am guessing there are issues with how they are calculating the leaderboard. I have 707480 points and 71 trees, and I've never been high enough to be on the leaderboard.
