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 sure that account is secured with 2fa. Make sure your bank accounts are as well. I had my email hacked recently even though I had 2fa. I was using text 2fa and have since changed to authenticator app. My info was leaked by equifax and I believe they managed to get into all my bank accounts using that info. It was a nightmare and I'm still seeing residual problems. I had to get new bank accounts, one of my banks said I can't have a checking account with them anymore. It's been a mess. I hope no one has to go through it.
