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 .

    I just want to add to this conversation that I have just received the emails discussed twice over the last couple of days -- citing unusual login activity from Russia with the credential cited in the discussion above. The information I got from this discussion was really helpful. I logged into the https://account.live.com/Activity and discovered there was no successful login from Russia (one unsuccessful from Vietnam!). I am, however, changing my password! Does not seem that Microsoft has addressed this issue.

    Microsoft keeps sending me a code that is one digit too short to verify. This happen to you ? Trying to see the activity cuz I thought it was spam too.

    Totally agree: if you hover over the Report button, you will see that the address is not one from MSFT.

    Hello..well, I'm glad I turned on my computer early this morning..I received the same email from Microsoft with the same address listed above...user was from Russia/Moscow..signing in from another device..

    Very devious..I always go through my trash to see if anyone's email got sent in there..well lo and behold, whomever this is, thought that the trash was the best place to send the notification from Microsoft..so indeed I would have no idea..but ah...they don't know me very well!

    Hi, cc winslow , I continue to receive these emails in my spam. I just trash them now. Hopefully it's not a real alarm! Because no real Microsoft people are listening. Thanks for responding. At least I know I'm not the only person out here feeling this way.
