Windows activity

Never noticed that before, I've had 13 different IP's tried to sign on my account in the last month (mostly China, Russia, Ukraine)

[-Nick]

I've had a few too! However, I have noticed it comes along with signing in with into another hotspot.

Check both of my accounts. One seems to have a lot of random sign ins all over the world, and the other is me just failing to log into my laptop it seems.

Yeah same, one has 13 in the last month other has 0.

One of my accounts hasn't had any that I can see, though there is a lot of activity because it's connected with my phone so I have like, 10+ activities a day.

On my other one, between now and the beginning of November I've had Morocco, Egypt, Uruguay, Laos, Russia and Venezuela.

[lawrawrrr]

I've had 2 from the same IP in Vietnam but that's it! None on my other account either...

Bit of a misleading thread title :P

[scottish]

Is there a 'windows activity' that I'm unaware of that is something big?

Well what you linked us is technically not Windows activity. It's your Microsoft account activity - Different services and products.

[scottish]

Well it's not completely different, as your Windows live mail is your Microsoft account.

If it bothers you that much change it :P

Windows = Operating System
Windows Live = An email program

You said "Windows" ;)

Plus, Windows Live can actually support non-Microsoft accounts so yeah. Haha :P

[scottish]

I am aware of the difference, I just couldn't care less regarding the thread title.

Of course it can, but for the most part it is Microsoft Accounts.

Again if it bothers you that much feel free to change it.

Clearly **** hackers.
Where do people even get my email anyway?

I would say they got your email address from websites you have signed up for. The websites you signed up for could have been completey legitimate but they could have shared your email address elsewhere, which could have led to hackers knowing your email address.

That is my guess anyway. :P

I always make sure my email account passwords are different to anything else because if a site gets compromised and they find your login details for that site they will try it with your email address and if successful could use that access to change all your login details to all the services linked that account and lock you out.

I had 2 failed logins one from Belgium and one from Brazil both this morning

[Kardan]

Either you guys are really not safe with sharing your email all over the place, or I'm failing to extend my list of logins - I've only got like 8/9 or so from this month and they're all by me from the UK.

[Mikey]

One from the Ukraine and others by me I presume.

[lawrawrrr]

My main email is literally used on so many mailing lists and I've only got the one, from the same ip multiple times, so probably just someone with a similar email to mine typing it by accident? How is everyone getting so many!?
