Successful Sync from Unknown Location

I just received an email reporting to me that someone from Romania just performed a successful sync to my outlook email account. What should I do? I changed my password to a new one and I made sure that I had my 2 step authorization enabled. Should I change my email entirely for websites that use this account? Thank you.

    Hi KYLESONG2

    Thanks for reaching out! My name is Dane and i'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    I would not worry about Successful Syncs, these are just servers that Microsoft uses for cloud computing, the ones you need to worry about are Successful SIGN IN from an unknown IP , since those sign ins are made by real people logging in or trying to log in to your account.

    Only if it says SiGN IN, if it is SYNC then there is nothing to worry about

    Oh, thank goodness! I was very worried for a second. I appreciate for the quick reply to my post! One more thing to add on before you go, I was given the specific IP address from where this action took place. Should I also be concerned about this or can I just ignore it.
