If it keeps happening, prefers middle of the night (to where you live) hours, and you often get a really big batch in a row, then yes, it’s probably an attempted hack.

In any case, I would making sure your password is strong and isn’t reused anywhere else, and set up multi factor authentication…

Edit: It was pointed out to me that this has an approve/deny on it. Looks an awful lot like an MFA Fatigue attack. The attacker plans to keep doing it until you slip up and approve it accidentally while fumbling to unlock your phone at midnight sometime.

You should change your password immediately, if you haven’t already.

Weird. Sure looks like MS may be sending these without requiring your password. That’s…not great. Because of the fatigue attack aspect. See what you can configure. I would disable this function on my account, if I could.

Again, that’s if you’ve gotten dozens of these. If you got 3, it’s someone who mistyped their email as yours.
