Email receiving suddenly stopped.

Go to solution

About 6 or 7 hours ago I suddenly stopped receiving emails, even those that I asked sender's to re-send. I was very puzzled and worried. Then, towards the end of that time, a new email heading appeared, purporting to come from Microsoft. When I opened the email, the message said 'Make a purchase before..(a date)..and keep your tenant". The word "tenant" had appeared in an exchange of normal emails earlier the same day.

I am afraid my email account appears to have been hacked. Whatare the dangers and what should I do?

Can you still access your email account?

Did you click on any links in any emails?

See this link.

You must inform your bank and credit card  security department as quickly as possible.
