Subject: Urgent Request for Investigation – Suspected Unauthorized Access to Microsoft Account and Potential Exposure of Email Backup (.pst File)
Dear Microsoft Support Team,
I am writing to raise a serious concern regarding the security of my Microsoft Outlook account. I recently identified suspicious activity that suggests my account may have been accessed without authorization, and I am increasingly concerned that a personal backup file (Outlook .pst) may have been compromised.
Summary of Concerns:
- I noticed a suspicious login using Chrome from a location in Hong Kong that I do not recognize, as shown in the Microsoft Account Security Center.
- Certain emails and attachments appear to have been sent, accessed, or altered without my knowledge.
- There are signs that someone may be in possession of a .pst backup file containing my email history or has otherwise retrieved large portions of my mailbox.
I kindly request Microsoft to:
- Investigate any unauthorized access to my account and confirm whether any bulk data (e.g., .pst exports or large downloads) has occurred.
- Provide a complete access log for the past 12 months, including:
- Login times, IP addresses, and locations
- Devices and browsers used to access the account
- Any linked third-party apps or mail clients
- Advise if there is any evidence of unauthorized downloads, email forwarding rules, or other account settings that were modified.
- Inform me of the next steps, including how to report this incident officially, and whether further action (e.g., reporting to a data protection authority) is necessary.
Given the potential exposure of personal and sensitive information, I consider this a high-priority case and request a response with a case ID and investigation status within 7 days.
Please let me know if additional information or verification is required on my part.
Sincerely, Lucia Yeung
