Change your passwords now, and do so on a regular basis. Try to use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Where possible, use two-factor authentication. This involves your usual password, plus a one-time code sent to you via text message or accessed through a dedicated authentication app like Google Authenticator and Authy for added security.
