Managing profiles and sync in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
My Microsoft account has been suspended for over a month and I have been unable to regain access.
I am aware of the account reinstatement forum, and I have already completed it, so I am not looking for instructions to submit the account reinstatement forum again.
The suspension occurred after I discovered suspicious activity involving my Microsoft account. An unfamiliar email address had been added as security information to my account without my authorization. I had not added this address myself.
I still had access to my account and took steps to secure it, including changing my password and attempting to correct the unauthorized security information. I subsequently contacted Microsoft because I was concerned that the account had been compromised. In which, the email was successfully replaced and everything got back to normal.
The account was then suspended/locked, and I have been unable to regain access.
What I have already done:
Despite this, I have not received any response whatsoever regarding reinstatement.
I understand that Microsoft Community moderators may not have direct access to account information. I am posting here because I need to know whether there is any legitimate escalation route for an account reinstatement case that has remained unanswered for this long, rather than simply being directed back to the same form.
This is my personal Microsoft account, and I would like Microsoft to review the suspension and the circumstances surrounding it.
If a moderator can advise what escalation path is available for an unanswered reinstatement case, I would appreciate it.
I can provide the existing case/ticket reference privately if required.
I did not know what tag to put this question under, so I tried the closest possible tag which involves syncing which is currently locked alongside my account.
