I recently got hacked on my Riot Games account, Facebook, and Battle.net. It seems like there's been a data breach where a lot of passwords have been leaked. Should I change all my passwords as a precaution?

Yes, change them all immediately! Try to make your passwords at least 21 characters long. Personally, I keep mine super long—3800 characters—but anything secure is better than nothing. Just make sure to keep a written record somewhere safe outside of your computer.
Definitely change your passwords! It's crucial to secure your accounts. Also, consider setting up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for extra protection. Make sure your new passwords are long and complex to help keep you safe.
Here's what you should do: 1. Check if your email has been compromised using a site like haveibeenpwned.com. 2. Enable MFA where you can. 3. Change all your passwords to unique, hard-to-guess ones, and think about using a password manager to help with that. 4. Make sure nobody you know is trying to access your accounts without permission. 5. Run a malware scan on all your devices just in case.
Are you reusing passwords? If so, that's a big issue. It's likely your login info got leaked, so changing everything is necessary.
Good point about scanning for malware! It’s easy to miss that step.
