Microsoft Authenticator saves the day. I was in the grocery store when I got the notification on my phone that someone was trying to sign in to my Microsoft account. I could tap Approve or Deny. I tapped Deny. I saw it again a couple of minutes later, and tapped Deny again.
Use 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) on every account that allows it. Don’t put it off any longer. Use this weekend to secure all your accounts, and start 2024 with better security.

They don't know how valuable an account may be until they get into it. Maybe with yours, all they can do is pirate a few Microsoft licenses using your credit card on file. At the other extreme, one of my clients did have his Microsoft account breached.
He's a contracted attorney.
For Microsoft.
@NoMansWoman Yesterday I also had attempts made from Croatia and Germany. Oh - and also from the good ol' USA.
@paxterrarum no credit card on file - my employer gets vouchers for us to use so I’m safe on that front. But man, they try on the regular. Almost always trying from NYC, China, Iran, or Russia!
