    Change your password on the affected websites at the very least.

    If you recycle the same email/password combination (which I most definitely hope you are not), time to change all those passwords (to unique passwords) as well.

      Might be a great time to switch to a password manager if OP didn’t already. This allows you to have fully unique complex passwords on all the shady websites

      Usually sound advice, but give this comment a read first.

    Well this is interesting. Some background:

    You wouldn’t happen to have some malware on your computer or logged into an account from a compromised computer?

      This is the right answer. Looks like you may want to look for malware, before changing passwords.

    Depends on what you use those creds on. If it’s the same password as your bank, go freeze your credit in addition to updating your PW.
