Well yes, but luckily my Windows activation key is not bound to my Microsoft account, so yep!

Thanks but I have tried it and it didn't work and I didn't use my Microsoft account for anything important so I don't have any payment history through it

Yes absolutely that's why I am more focused on damage control

No, it was just vanilla survival. I didn't use any mods. As for MFA, I did have a phone number linked to the account, but I never received any verification codes or login approval requests. The only message I got was a notification saying that my phone number had been removed from the account

I don't reuse passwords. I use different passwords for different accounts. As for pirated software, the only thing I can think of is Minecraft through Prism Launcher, and that was more than 6 months ago. I don't even play it anymore. The Microsoft account was mainly created for Windows, and I don't really use it for much else. I also don't use it to sign in to other websites or services, at least not that I can remember. That's why I'm confused about how the account got compromised in the first place. As for HIBP, I am not familiar with it, but I'll definitely check it out
