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.

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

Hey,

This morning I also received an email from Microsoft notifying about "Profile info changed". Then I went on to check recent activities and saw one which was not me with this IP address Removed PII. I'm wondering if it's also Microsoft's?
