Someone keeps trying to access my MS account
Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through and buying a physical key like yubico to further secure my account. Any tips are appreciated.
I checked out my old Hotmail account and there's somebody in china trying to access it non stop.
It's protected with a strong password and 2fa. But it still makes me uneasy. I just wish I could geo block the attempts or something.
Geo block would be great on unsuccessful logging in.
you mean like fail2ban? a standard POSIX package since the 90s? that kinda paradigm that MS has no concept of?
What’s more annoying is that it’s been happening since January 21st and no notice from MS.
You'd think stopping crap like that is easy pickings for AI to sort out...................................................
Plot twist, the logins are all coming from ChatGPT
