I still use my first ever made email address, at this point it’s pushing 28 years old. However I have a major problem. I can rarely log into it anymore. There are so many attempts to login to the account daily from whoever out there that wants to gain access that the login is normally locked out for a period of time. At this point I’ve moved everything of financial value off of it as someone did get access once, but there are still plenty of random little things I’d like to hang on to it for.
I know I can just make a new one and ditch that one as a quick solution, but I figured i’d ask a wider community if they had any insights I might not have. It’s a Microsoft account, and my windows is tied to it, but I’m pretty sure I can just migrate that to something new.
Yeah I have an old email as well. I rarely log into it, but when I did I saw there are daily attempts from China and whatnot trying to log into it.
Not in the situation where the account is locked out though. I always wondered if you couldn’t reach out to m$ and ask for a geo block at the least.

I mean. For the majority geo blocking off anything except their main region would be fine ( whitelisting Europe for Europeans will be fine for the most part ). Especially if you make it opt-in rather than opt-out.
Though I assume they would likely just continue their hack attempts over VPNs.
