I'm in a serious situation where my online accounts are getting hacked left and right. My email, Discord, Instagram, and even Steam have been compromised. I only noticed the Steam hack because I was active at the time and managed to secure it quickly. However, the hacker has been spamming my contacts with messages about a Kai Cenat crypto scam and even posted on my Instagram. My Steam profile was changed to a Russian name with an edited picture of Jenna Ortega. It seems my email might also be affected as I've spotted unknown devices linked to my account, although they appear to be from my own area. I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid, or if someone local or using a VPN is involved. I need help ASAP, and I'd appreciate straightforward advice since I'm only moderately tech-savvy.

If you had two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled, then I'd recommend reinstalling Windows using a USB stick. If you didn't have 2FA set up, you should change your passwords immediately, enable 2FA where possible, remove any unknown devices from your accounts, and also check for any email forwarding rules. Consider getting a password manager to secure your accounts better.
Update: I've been monitoring my email and it's receiving new iPhone sign-ins every few minutes. They're originating from my area, even after I’ve changed my passkey and password.
It sounds like you're getting hacked due to weak passwords or possibly because of malware. Check the strength of your passwords on a site like haveibeenpwned.com. You should also run the built-in antivirus on your PC to ensure there’s no malware running.
It seems like you might have a keylogger installed on your device. I'd recommend not using your computer right now until you can reinstall Windows. Typical antivirus software often misses these threats, so a clean install and reformatting your drives might be the only solid fix.
