I've had a huge increase of people trying to sign in to my email account the past few days. As in multiple attempts every hour, every day, from all of the world. I've had to change my password daily and I'm worried about my email getting hacked. Is there any extra security or anything else I can do other than the two factor authentication that can protect my email from being hacked. It's insane the amount of login attempts that are happening lately. Multiple attempts at the same time in different ends of the world. I've never had this happen before. Will it decrease eventually?

I had twelve international attempts two days ago and five yesterday, even though my computer was off. They try to log in from all over the world incessantly, constantly, 24 hours a day. I am tired of worrying and being hacked. Yes, I was hacked three times in three weeks and have had my computer cleaned three times. I have remote access off. They still get in. I don't know how. Would someone please tell me how to keep these hackers out of my computer, out of my Pay Pal, out of my accounts and life?
Yes, according to Harris, the Microsoft advisor who posted above. " In our tests, you were still able to receive emails under your old account name. "
My list looks exactly the same! I wish people would get a life instead of trying to destroy other peoples. Seems like it's a full time job for some. And yes, why isn't Microsoft doing better at this.
