Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account. I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly.Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I’m getting at.******

    How can I be sure that my account was not hacked?

    I got 1 simple answer for you, if your mailbox is hacked, they will kick you out and make sure you can't get back in. Trust me on this. They will not ask you to send them money. They can do more damage by scouring your mailbox for things to steal (reset your bank account passwords etc). Then they'll phish all your contacts.

    Those idiots can't hack. Period.

    Dear alexous1986

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    Go in through this link and click “See your recent activity”. if there are no successful logins from unknown addresses, your account has not been compromised.

    What is the Recent activity page? - Microsoft Support

    I hope that my reply will be helpful to you.

    Best Regards,

    Simon - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Hi Simon,

    Alex here. I got the same message just now in my junk folder. What worries me is that they sent it from my account, without any mistake. Also my Outlook profile photo is shown while hovering the kouse on the photo. How can I be sure that my account was not hacked?

    With regards

    Alex
