Why was I not notifed, that there have been numerous (luckily unsuccessful) attempts to log in into my miscrosoft account from China?

Hello,

starting 8/5/2023, there is a long list in my recent activity of attempts to log into my Microsoft account from China.

Being from Europe, I would think that such suspicious activity, would be flagged by Microsoft and I would be immediately notified.

The only reason I have found out, is because I was checking something on my account and now I am worried.

Do I have some setting wrong? Or because the logins were unsuccessful, it was just ignored, even though the latest is literally from 2 days ago?

Regards.

You get notified if there is a successful attempt to sign in.

If you do not have 2FA set then you should just to be safe and use the Microsoft authentication app.
