This exact same thing is sent to a lot of people
exactly the same details every time with a date and time change difference
They’re garbage phishing emails from scammers who would be hoping for a reply, then I’d say there would be a password change involved for them to get the details
The reply to email address (same as the opt out link) is a big red flag

This is the Microsoft community discussion regarding the endless instances of the exact same details of login attempts
