Looks like one of Microsoft's support agents had their credentials compromised allowing hackers access to accounts for a least a couple of months. The article with suggested guidance is here on the Verge.

See the 29-Apr-2019 update at Microsoft Outlook Email Breach Targeted Cryptocurrency Users, which states in part:
Earlier this month, Motherboard broke the news that hackers were not only able to access Outlook users’ email metadata as previously reported, but also email content. The breach centered around a hacker getting hold of a Microsoft customer support worker’s login credentials; from there, the hacker could dive into the content of any non-corporate Outlook, Hotmail, or MSN account, Motherboard found.
Now, multiple victims have come forward to flag what they believe may be one of the motivating reasons behind the breach: emptying peoples’ cryptocurrency accounts.
Kudos to Brink for alerting readers to that development <here> in the VistaForums board.
