I recently went through a rough breakup and decided to cut all ties with my ex. As part of this, I changed my social media accounts, phone number, and email address, and I've been diligent about updating my passwords. However, I'm now paranoid because I think my ex might have found out my new email address. How could they have possibly gotten it, and what steps can I take to secure my privacy even more?

It’s tough to say without more details, but one possibility is that your ex got your new email from a mutual friend. Maybe they saw something on social media and shared it. On the flip side, if there's no connection at all, consider that there might be spyware on your devices that keeps feeding them information.
I thought about that too, but we really don't have mutual friends anymore. I'm honestly stumped about how he's found my email, and it's the email part that's freaking me out.
