Is this legit email also?

Question

As part of our system updates, support for older email versions is being discontinued. Your current mailbox no longer meets our updated requirements and may put your account at high risk, which may be deactivated within 24–48 hours, if no action is taken.

To avoid any interruption, please upgrade to the latest version immediately to maintain secure access to your email.

Answer 1

Hello

I am afraid this is phishing scam.

A leigitimate email from Microsoft regarding your account always comes from domains ending in @accountprotection.microsoft.com

Answer 2

The email you received appears to be a phishing attempt. Legitimate emails from Microsoft regarding account updates or security do not typically use urgent language that threatens account deactivation within a short timeframe, such as 24-48 hours. Additionally, Microsoft usually communicates through specific domains like microsoft.com or microsoftsupport.com. If the email is from a different domain, it is likely not genuine.

To protect yourself, do not click on any links or provide personal information. Instead, visit the official Microsoft website directly to check your account status.
