I am under attack each second.

Question

I created an authenticator, 2 step authenticator.

Each minute I have someone trying to access, I think I know who are and where are, but I need proof.

How?

Hello, fcfpereira.

Thanks for reaching out to our Microsoft Community.

I understand that you're concerned about these unauthorized access attempts on your Hotmail.com.

If a potential hacker knows you email address this is usually the result. They basically attempt to log-in but are unsuccessful.

So, these attempts cannot be stopped due to the fact that they know your email address. The only action you can take with regards to this is to secure your account further using the steps in the link below.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-help-keep-your-microsoft-account-safe-and-secure-628538c2-7006-33bb-5ef4-c917657362b9

More specifically you need to add an alternate email address and a phone number or a combination of those both to your account. They will be your first and second recovery methods for the account. Your third recovery method should be the Microsoft Authenticator app so you can sing-in without a password and thus reduce these unauthorized access attempts. Doing it this way also ensures that the account can always be recovered.

Feel free to reply to this thread if you need further clarification.

Sincerely,

Glenn Rue
