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.

Someone hacked my account using an SMS exploit from Russia last week

I removed my phone number just in case this might happen.

You can do that? I lost my ms account altogether because I refused to give them my phone number. Although that was 10 years ago.

I can't even buy Minecraft with my new account

I had a copy of Minecraft that I paid for, but lost it after refusing to migrate it to Microsoft. Having to link your real name, phone number, and email just to play a game, is unbelievable.
