Microsoft Says Someone Changed My Profile Information

Hi SteveM26,

I'm glad to help you with this.

It seems that you're still getting some spam/phishing emails to your account. Am I right? To give you the basic information on how to prevent from receiving this, you can check the following article below:

How to recognize if the email I have received is genuine or spam/ phishing?

How do I report Abuse or Spam in Hotmail?

However, if you feel that your account is hacked, we advise that you check and clean your computer from malware/spyware, then change your password and update your account credentials. 

For us to further investigate your account again, please use this link. This is way, we ask other personal information like the affected account without posting here in public forum.

Hopefully this will resolve the issue. If not, please let us know so we can assist you further.

Thanks,

Christina

This is a lame response. I am getting these emails three times a day on average. You have a bug somewhere Microsoft. It's best not to waste our time with the banal suggestions.

I have to agree.  Especially as I got in touch with Microsoft privately as suggested and the response was basically "there is nothing wrong, don't worry about it no one is really accessing your account.  Have a great day!".  I responded to say OK but why am I getting these emails every day - it is somewhat concerning.  My feeling is that it could indicate some kind of internal security issue and it does need to be investigated.

I am certain it's not something us users are doing, it is a server-side issue that seems to be internal to Microsoft's network.  All the IPs originate from their network.

I don't think there is a huge panic to be had, since it looks like no actual changes are being made and if it was malicious, we'd likely see signs of that.  Nonetheless, something is triggering these security alerts, and I would like to know exactly what it is.

Yes, they are indeed very annoying. To me, they just stoped someday without any aprently reasson so i guess it was some kind of bug that gets triggered by some actions. In my case was the X-notifier but after turning it off for some days, I keep receiving these emails but a lot less so I enabled again that addon. At some point they stoped.

So if someone is getting these emails, first log from a clean device like a computer just formated or one that you know for sure that is out of virus or you can use even your phone. Then change the password for a very secured one and add more scurity options. I even added that authentificator app. If the emails still coming and you can see clearly that they comes from Microsoft and that certainly there is no change in your profile, just dont worry and let it go. It will stop at some point.
