😕
I got an email supposedly from MS about .net passport. Anyone else get this? I am worried that the link which I clicked on for a "security check" is somehow a malicious one. I emailed passport and no response yet.
Here is the message (please DO NOT connect to the "security check" until this is cleared up!!!):
