I certainly wouldn't click on the link that is given for "review recent activity"
I would just log into my account and use it as normal and see what happens

Defiantely a scam.

There is one major clue - why would Microsoft be concerned with an attempt to access a Yahoo address!

Best think is to assume everything is a scam unless it correctly names you and asks you to log in independently rather than via a link.
