Ignore - nothing can be done [ except changing pass regularly and having strong 2fa ]

And if possible dump that email and create new email

This is due to email being revealed in hacks [ in past which are then available for sale on dark webs ]

These hackers [ dumb ] have made automated scripts to keep trying numerous times then few times a day [ for eternity ] even though Microsoft won't let them log in coz you have 2fa.

And Microsoft will do nothing [ has been happening to thousands of users for more than last 2 years or more ]

@simhapur change the email ID in microsoft account and there you can have option allow this old email to login and then disable it. Problem solved!
