I wonder if the third party entity is Microsoft and it was their Azure AD, exchange, sharepoint, onedrive, etc that was accessed. If so it's an interesting word choice to use to try to dodge responsibility and criticism.
my identity has been in the wild for a few years and someone even used my identity to do credit card, buy phones and get new driver licenses, even claim IRS tax refund.
nowadays I check my accounts daily, that's the only thing I can do, to monitor things closely, I mean, on a daily basis, what else can I do.
don't mention the credit alert etc, the impostor set that up before me, they had everything about me, and yes I got letters that my info was leaked multiple times over the years.
