Junk Emails Suddenly going to Inbox Feb 2023

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

    I’ve got the same problem, though I just received a message from Microsoft that said my account has been accessed by someone in Russia. Who knows what’s really going on.

    Please fix ASAP.

    I didn't change anything, it was working perfectly yesterday, no updates done on anything since it was working. What did Microsoft change, please change it back.
