I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it; but I got an email this morning at 2 AM saying that my Microsoft account password was changed. The email was authentic - it came from Microsoft's servers, and had no buttons for me to click. It said that the IP Address of the password change was my own ISP in my area... and that the reset came from a phone number I didn't recognize on my security info, that even now does not show on my account dashboard.

I ran in a panic to reset my password... only to discover, the password was "changed" to the exact same password? And how would they even get in the account without 2FA? My "sign in history" also showed no trace of anything unusual. At this point, and reading these headlines, I feel more confident something's broke.
