THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

MASSIVE SCAM WARNING!

If you are a user of the WONDERFUL Windows platform, then during the system installation, you must have encountered the persistent OneDrive application. If you lacked the courage to immediately eliminate this 'cockroach', there's a high chance it may have copied some of your private data to its cloud. This is exactly what scammers are counting on, and they are now massively attacking Microsoft servers, trying to log into your cloud.

Action plan to protect yourself:

Go to account.live.com/Activity and check for login attempts. If there were successful logins and it wasn't you, things are bad; start by changing your passwords.

Go to onedrive.live.com and check what data is in your cloud. Clear data that could be dangerous for you, making sure it's saved elsewhere. Be careful when performing a complete clean-up, as this includes your OneNote notebooks and so on! Some people have already foolishly lost their passwords and private keys by deleting them in the cloud. Don't forget to then delete everything from the recycle bin, where files are initially placed when deleted.

Visit account.live.com/proofs/manage/additional and add two-factor authentication (2FA). You don't necessarily have to download the Microsoft 2FA app; you can use the familiar Google Auth.

Ensure your password is strong, or change it to a more secure one.

Stealing personal data and private keys from the cloud is the least they can do, having full access to your account. Take care of your security before it's too late.

Reports indicate that after gaining access to an account, they assign a birth year of 2016 or later to add you to a 'family' as a 'child', restricting recovery options. Think about it.
