Hi SENG HKUN NAW,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q/A forum.
To help protect yourself from unauthorized access, consider the following steps:
- Every account must be assigned a combination of passwords that are strong, unique, and randomized. Avoid basing them on information that may be simple to guess.
- Utilize Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) in as many instances as you can. This implies that a verification code may also be requested in addition to the default password, reducing the chances of being accessed hijackers.
- Make time to routinely change your operating systems as well as apps. It is possible for the updates to come with security fixers that are able to close the loopholes the hackers would have exploited.
- Avoid public wi-fi when engaging with sensitive accounts, instead use a safe internet connection. If required, you could consider the use of a VPN for extra protection.
- Activating sign up alerts for anything unusual on your accounts: Most services provide alerts about account accesses from new devices and places.
- For emails that are from unrecognized senders or emails that do not look right or trustworthy, be extra cautious about them. Only open the attachments after you have double-checked that they are safe, also avoid the links.
