Explanation

Leaked credentials are processed anytime Microsoft finds a new, publicly available batch. Because of the sensitive nature, the leaked credentials are deleted shortly after processing. Only new leaked credentials found after you enable password hash synchronization (PHS) will be processed against your tenant. Verifying against previously found credential pairs isn't done. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/identity-protection/concept-identity- protection-risks#leaked-credentials
