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

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.
Everything looks legit, the Microsoft address has nothing added to it and it has included this info (though I see sign in as one word?):

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.
Same issue here just happened overnight. Haven't touched the safe-list settings in years
Do not click on any of those warning messages about people accessing your account in Russia, etc. BTW. They are spam.
