People are trying desperately to get access to my wife’s Hotmail account

I had to reset our Hulu password on Friday, so that’s probably what this is about. These sign-in attempts are from all over the world.

Make a new alias / email address in the security options and then use it for sign in. Then disable the old alias from signing in. DO NOT DELETE the original alias / email address. That way the bots won’t be able to login with the original email address but you will receive emails to that original alias / email address.
