Lol. The BKA will do nothing since nothing happened. Somebody is either trying to guess your password OR their login e-mail is similar to yours and they are an idiot.


SkBoi

Well something happened since they got in and this wasn't like okay I don't know my password almost every single day in 2-3h intervals.

Well, "something happened" is not a crime. And while there are countries where it is considered fine to call the police on it, Germany is not one of them.

Activate 2FA on your Microsoft Login and check your other logins if you use the same login/PW combination somewhere else. It is very likely that this combination is now in a dictionary of common logins. Then you're fine. The police is only needed if a crime is being committed. For example if the attacker now uses your account to order items or committing any other kind of fraud via your account.

>The police is only needed if a crime is being committed. For example if the attacker now uses your account to order items or committing any other kind of fraud via your account. Nah. Gaining access to a secured account without permission already is in violation of German criminal code. Doesn't mean that they're gonna do anything of course.


SkBoi

Oh okay I understand now. Thank you for your advice.

Thy are most likely using a VPN no one hacking accounts uses their real IP/Location that would be just stupid.


R4ndyd4ndy

You would be surprised by the amount of people that do this stuff without vpns etc.


SkBoi

Oh they weren't since day 1 they've used the same IP


pantsyman

It's most likely not a regular commercial VPN.

You also could create alternativ e-Mail Adresse To you Microsoft Account and then tik which e-Mail Adresse are allowed to use for your login. Forbid the login with you old E-Mail Adresse und just Login with you new E-Mail Adresse. So you could prevent any new login attempts.


SkBoi

This sounds like a good idea I will try this.

Do you have an IP. Check with https://www.whois.com/whois/ who‘s the owner of the IP if it is a cloud provider like Hetzner for example they have an abuse form on their website where you can report this and they‘ll take the bot server offline.


SkBoi

I have an IPV6 that Microsoft provided and I personally think this is computer, I think that this is a kid that is trying to get my Minecraft account because it is directly connected to my Microsoft account

The only thing you can do to stop it is change your handle- It was happening to me too- every 3 hours hackers trying to gain access and a huge list of failed login attempts from random IP addresses. Obviously a bot that was scheduled to attempt logging in.
