I know this question was asked before but the reply was closed and I noticed something important. The email is being sent from Microsoft domain , that means Microsoft domain is hacked already and sending these spams .

    What made me suspect that Microsoft domain is hacked is when I checked the sign in activity I found only one successful sign on which was the current session at the time I checked . It seemed to me that someone deleted all the sign on previous activities.

    I already have all the security measures activated from two way authentication to using alias and can not imagine someone can penetra my account

    The Microsoft domain wasn't hacked, just spoofed.

    I wish I knew that it can be spoofed. It was a totally legit Microsoft address. I already replied to the email even though it showed a non Microsoft email this time ,but I trusted the initial sending address. There was no information to be filled just a “report the user” button. Now I get 50 scam emails per day and can’t block or report them because the sending address is jibirich.
