    What should I do.

    The only thing you can do - change the password on your account immediately.

    Also, check the activity on your account to ensure that you haven't yet been hacked via this link

    https://account.live.com/Activity

    If you have been hacked, checked for any forwarding rules that you don't recognie and remove them, A common hacker tactic it to create a forwarding rule to send your emails to their account

    Just so there is no misunderstanding, this is a public user-to-user support forum. We're users just like you helping other users. We do not work for Microsoft and have no access to any user account so there is nothing we can do or check from within the forum.
