Try creating a brand new alias and see if you can do it then.

This was the problem. Microsoft got hacked... again.
This article has been edited, by MS I assume, to make it look like MS was the hero.

They were not. They were the failure.

If folks keep letting MS "hold" their important items (of any kind), they will keep getting hacked.
The reason: Microsoft is a prime target for hackers.
YOU, probably are not. You are seeing the result of MS getting hacked.

Microsoft's storm-proof defense wins - gHacks Tech News

The battle between Microsoft and Storm-0558 is ongoing, but Microsoft's strong security measures have helped to mitigate the threat.

Store your important things on an external hard drive. That's the safest place to store things.
Large external hard drives, these days, will fit in your pocket. So even in case of fire, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, just stick it in your pocket and... run like the tax man is after you.

Here, for example, is a modern day, 4TB external hard drive ($180)...

And before you get the idea that things like Google are safe... they aren't.
Google is a prime target too.

Unless you're trading stocks in the billion dollar range or happen to have 17,000 bitcoins, etc., no one (hackers), cares about YOUR computer. Now clicking on a link that is for a Nigerian prince asking for monetary help... is all on you.
That and similar scams are your own fault.

The rest is you storing your valuables on other people's (companies), servers.
Unless you "have to" for some business reason, storing your important data on some company's computer is just... dumb.
Especially if the place you store it is on a computer, that IS a prime target for hackers.

Side issue or not, I don’t understand the need to single out a country, there are bad people everywhere. Being an American citizen, you should understand this. Relatively, we look at our country Australia and are appalled at our crime rate. Our biggest beef at the moment is the amount of teens stealing cars, we look at the crime statistics in the United States and our jaws fall open. We are ashamed that in 2022, 50 women were murdered in my country, in the USA, 4,970 women were murdered in the same year.
Hacking, murder, car theft, it doesn’t matter the subject. People do horrible, immoral things.

I’d be more concerned about the countries that aren’t listed, because there are hackers & scammers in most every country. The ones you can’t see are probably the most concerning. The ones you can see are just script-kiddies taking a crack at your account because they’re crap at what they do and it’s the best they can come up with.

yes, this was about Win11 security, but then it listed the places that were hacking into accounts.. attempting to hack... so, hey, it says what it says.. I didn't make it up.. and I am not the direct target, they are trying to screw over any account they can... and so we have a hundred layers of both Microsoft firewalls and 3rd party firewalls. And the dreaded 2 factor authorization which I hate because I am sick of trying to prove it is me on my own computer..
