    I wonder if this will improve the security and your confidence:

    1. Sign into your Microsoft account
    2. Create a new alias email address (if you don't already have one to use) - you won't use this email address for email
    • Select "Your Info"
    • Under Account Info, select "Edit account info" > "Add email"
    1. Then select "Sign-in preferences"
    2. Under the area headed "Sign-in preferences"
    3. Change the "primary alias" to the newly created alias email address by clicking the "make primary" option
    4. Then select "Change sign-in preferences"
    5. Choose the aliases that are allowed to sign-in to you account.
    6. Add a check mark in the box next to your newly created alias.
    7. Since your primary email account is the one that hackers are attempting to hack, remove the checkmark next to that email address and add a checkmark next to the newly created alias.

    Doing this will keep your original email address intact, but neither you nor anyone else will be able to log into your account with that email address. Since you won't be using the new alias email address for email, it will not become known on the internet and so the likelihood of anyone being able to use it to attempt to log into your account is pretty small.

    Hope that helps,

    Julie
