How do you handle "indirect" data breaches from "Have I Been Pwned"

How do you handle third-party data breaches that could have an indirect connection to your institution, such as 
individual using their .edu account for personal cloud service, etc?

We subscribe to haveibeenpwned.com's domain search notification service. We've seen a steady increase in notifications 
around these types of services:


-          Chegg

-          Canva

-          Adobe

And then there are the usual personal services (fitness apps, tickets, etc.)

Should we notify potentially impacted accounts? If so, what guidance should be provided?

Seems there's a balance in being helpful but at the same time not assuming any liability or support burden.
