Microsoft account unusual sign-in activity email, -----> Is this phishing?

I receive 10 to 20 of these emails a week. china is constantly trying to sign into my account and failing. is there some way to summarily deny all access from countries outside of the U.S from trying to sign into my account. thus eliminating these attempts and constant emails.

Every time I check these attempts your system tells me that the attempts were unsuccessful so I don't need to do anything. but there must be a way to stop all this. any suggestions?

This may be an old response. However, it is not correct. These are not legitimate emails from Facebook and I get more than 1 repeats every day.

I don’t believe Microsoft makes a real attempt to stop junk. I get thousands, mostly repeats of emails I’ve tried to block.

Is this really legit?

Here's what I just got...which looks a heck of a lot like phishing to me...

Microsoft account

Security code

The main thing to keep in mind: if something is presented to your junk folder, Don't Reply to the email. EVER. If you want to check something out go to the actual website as you did now with these very real looking email for what appears to be from Microsoft.

When you mouse over the "Review recent activity" button, what do you see?

I'm seeing this:

mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***?&cc=*** Email address is removed for privacy ***,*** Email address is removed for privacy ***,*** Email address is removed for privacy ***,*** Email address is removed for privacy ***&subject=unusual sign-in activity&body=No it wasn't me

Why would this email go to the Junk folder?

Why would the links show that string of nonsense rather than a link to one's Microsoft profile?

Easily looks like a phishing scam.

EDIT: The thread is censoring the email addresses above. Well, none of them are Microsoft email addresses, so there's your red flag.
