alt Hacker NewsMaybe some bot signed up using your email and then did bot things on it. I've had that happen a lot over the years. My Microsoft account is still stuck in German because that's the language the bot used when creating the account (to spam X-Box apparently).
I got a 20y old hotmail/live account deleted by Microsoft because a bot tried to reset my password too many times. Considering the magnitude of the targeted attack, MS found the safest way to keep me secure was to wipe my account. That way the attacker could not get into my account.
