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.Quote:

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
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.Quote:

If it bothers you that much change it :P

Plus, Windows Live can actually support non-Microsoft accounts so yeah. Haha :P
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.
indonesia, belarus, canada, USA, china, romania, argentina, india, malaysia, mexico, korea, brunei, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA ugh go away foreign hackers
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.Quote:

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.
One from the Ukraine and others by me I presume.
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!?
