Unsuccessful attempts from outside US location

Question

Hi, I've noticed in the recent activity on my account that every day, multiple attempts of sign ins are made from outside locations. It seems like a lot of hackers from Brazil, Turkey, and China have tried to access my account. It says they were all unsuccessful which is good, but I was wondering if there was a way to contact support and get someone to block these locations from my account (or anyway to further protect my account)

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

Conditional Access could be one of the potential solutions for this issue. You could block access for certain countries/locations.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/policy-block-by-location

To configure it, please sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a conditional access administrator.

1. Browse to Protection > Conditional Access > Named locations.
2. Choose the type of location to create.
   • Countries location or IP ranges location.
     • Give your location a name.
3. Provide the IP ranges or select the Countries/Regions for the location you're specifying.

• If you select IP ranges, you can optionally Mark as trusted location.
  • If you choose Countries/Regions, you can optionally choose to include unknown areas.

1. Select Create
