The account has since been secured and Microsoft is investigating the incident.

Rapid7 has detailed Operation ASTERIX, a targeted scam combining automated phone calls, email lures and fake wallet apps.
The attackers aimed to trick users into entering their recovery phrases.
An unexpected call about a security issue or urgent update is a warning sign: hang up, verify the situation through an official channel, and never enter your recovery phrase into an unfamiliar app.

I'm getting the "approve this Coinbase transaction" messages again, so I guess I'm on a scammer list?
I'm curious if it's just through data harvesting phone numbers, or if someone is using my name for their cryptocurrency account.
