Question

Unsuccessful attempts from outside US location

nicholas gagliardo 5

Hi, I've noticed in the recent activity on my account that every day, multiple attempts of sign ins are made from outside locations. It seems like a lot of hackers from Brazil, Turkey, and China have tried to access my account. It says they were all unsuccessful which is good, but I was wondering if there was a way to contact support and get someone to block these locations from my account (or anyway to further protect my account)

That's it huh? I noticed the same but from south America. Santo Domingo, Mexico. Etc not a single warning or alert from Microsoft, not a single alert from My Authenticator, Not a single Alert from my Anti Virus and Microsoft Defender but I have had compromised systems. Trouble with 4 different desktops all are basically on path of destruction, just purchased a used refurbished HP 800 elite desk and it immediately started with problems once I signed in. Nobody to reach out to because the help functions don't actually link to anyone .

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

Conditional Access could be one of the potential solutions for this issue. You could block access for certain countries/locations.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/policy-block-by-location

To configure it, please sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a conditional access administrator.

Browse to Protection > Conditional Access > Named locations.
Choose the type of location to create.
- Countries location or IP ranges location.
  - Give your location a name.
Provide the IP ranges or select the Countries/Regions for the location you're specifying.

If you select IP ranges, you can optionally Mark as trusted location.
- If you choose Countries/Regions, you can optionally choose to include unknown areas.

Select Create
