This. It happens a lot because people are not aware of how the internet works.
The fun thing is: I do and work with internet every day but somehow my LIVE account was hacked like 2 years ago. I must admit, though, that password was hella old and might have slipped through some other site that didn't have proper safety on its database.
There are now several ways to secure your account, like those codes you get sent to your email or phone to verify a new device logging into your account. And if you don't go the crazy way and save your credit card info on LIVE you're all good (I mean, think about how bad other MS products are. Do you really want them to have lots of important info?). Microsoft even is quick in blocking hacked accounts and helping you to get it back without lost or changed data. (Quality of support depends on country, of course.)
