    Unauthorized Email Address Linked to My Microsoft Account


    Dear Microsoft Support Team,I am writing to report an issue with my Microsoft account. Recently, I discovered that an unknown email address starting with "Ro" has been linked to my account without my authorization. Although I have successfully changed my password and secured my account, I still encounter problems when logging into Microsoft Edge—it frequently redirects me to the unauthorized "Ro" email for authentication.Here are the key details of my issue:My original email: [Your Email]The unauthorized email: Ro*******@gmail.comIssue encountered: Despite changing my password, Microsoft Edg

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    Embarrassingly, everyone on my email list received spam originating from my account, which is Yahoo based. A scan with MSE found two trojans, a Java/Rowindal.A and a Downloader:Java/OpenStream.W.

    Are these the source of my unwanted email traffic? Would someone opening this email be infected with the same problems? Could there be more dangerous underlying threats.

    Hell, I have quite a few high dollar clients in my list. I always treat people's addresses like they were unlisted numbers, and don't send frivolous "Hey how are ya" junk. This is mortifying.*Eek! Unauthorized Email Address Linked to My Microsoft Account :eek:
