Hi, I had my hotmail account for over 20 years and I never had an issue like this. As of this morning at 4am ALL of my junk emails are going to my inbox. No settings have been amended.
Since I've had this account for many years every 5 minutes I receive a junk in my inbox. Ive searched for a solution online but all I can see is for outlook and not outlook/hotmail 365. I've tried everything at this point, from rules to flagging wit no help. Has anyone experienced the same? Microsoft doesnt seem to have a customer service team to help?
Many thanks

UK here same problem started about 1200 GMT 20/2/2023
Ditto,
Had this email for 25 years and counting. Junk mail constantly hitting inbox - focused and other. What is going on Microsoft?? They changed something and it's not a good look. We have made and can make no changes that would cause this. Seems system wide and they need to quickly UNDO whatever it is that they have done!
Hello, OMG It’s good to hear that others has been affected by this as well. As of Feb. 20, 2023 hi to have experienced the same thing all junk and phishing emails have been directly coming to my inbox. The same I’ve have this account for over 20 years and this has never happened until now.
Same thing is happening to me. this must be a system-wide breakdown or hack.
Add me to the list of people having all spam bypass the spam filter. Began sometime in the early hours of 20FEB2023. I have also gotten the phishing email directly from Microsoft account support claiming that my account has been logged into by someone in Moscow/Russia. I know this can't be possible because my account activity doesn't reflect this, and I have MFA without a password. I did not follow any links from the email.
