How do you report bot accounts?

helpmeplz1111 · May 8, 2023

I host a private Minecraft server. Whitelist is turned on thankfully. But I've recently been getting spammed with log in attempts (every 20 seconds for hours on end). I was thinking with the transfer from Mojang to Microsoft, the account has to be linked to Microsoft in some way. How do I report the bot/spam accounts to Microsoft?

You can report accounts that you think are violating the rules
This is first one:

The second one is report the player inside the game, in your case Minecraft

Best thing to do is to just report and block, i wish they would add a new option to reporting that is for bot/malicious account (mostly for the bots that promote adult sites)

It seems like there is a new wave of bot accounts going around. All you can do is ignore, report and block.

If you are talking about the account bots that have been adding people just report and block them, whatever you do, do not respond to any of their messages.

If this is on a game, report it via in game tools and then resort to Xbox Live reports.

Hello there what i would do is simply block and report the user if following many people 0 gamerscore the account can be a bot most likely. When reporting report it as spam. Thank you
