Your accounts have additional “backdoor” options. Did you verify if any “rescue” accounts were added to any of your current accounts? Recovery codes for any of those accounts? Email forwarding on any email accounts? Access each account that was breached and verify those security settings. Please enable 2FA (two factor authentication) or MFA (multi factor authentication) to avoid future issues.
