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 .

    Hey Brian,

    Thanks for your message. I'm experiencing the same, often an email saying there's an unusual login from Moscow Russia. I checked the activity page as you suggested, and what do I see? Many failed attempts to login from all over the world... I already changed my password after the first time I received that email, tough this I find pretty concerning... Any ideas what I can do about it?

    That's all. Just be sure your password is long and strong (not some easy to guess password like "password123"). I think the system won't let you use commonly used words as your password. One thing you should know is that any spammers who have your email address can try to sign in with your email address. You can't stop them from trying to break into your mailbox.

    Hi Rose, I really don't know ? I just stopped responding to them. It's totally impossible to get in touch with Microsoft Tech(s).

    I wonder if they are really concerned about the matter? Thank You ! For reaching out though, at least I know I'm not the only

    person that is receiving this. Good Day to you!

    For the past 3 weeks I have received the same "unusual activity" message from Russia, Korea, Turkey. I have changed my password several times. What is confusing to me is the chats say that this "Microsoft account team <******@accountprotection.microsoft.com" is the address in which a user would be notified of unusual activity. That is the address that these emails are coming from. I've enabled MFA. What else can be done?
