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

Same report of a user in Spain on a Russian domain. Outlook has been hacked !
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?):

It's not junk. It's being sent from microsoft support, not a workaround address. The email is defo a phishing scheme, but it appears as if Microsoft's support email may have been compromised, which also may explain the junk mail filter bypass.
This must be a system problem. Microsoft should be on this because it's affecting everyone it seems!
Hi,
Yup my hotmail just started doing the same thing today. It must be systematic
