A year ago, my Facebook account was hacked, which led to a series of security issues. They changed my username and password, and I began receiving numerous login attempt alerts on my bank account, along with an IP address traced back to Karachi, Pakistan. I even lost access to my Clash of Clans account. To address this, I deleted all my email accounts and social media, and got a new phone. This calmed the situation down from over 100 login attempts daily to maybe 1-2 a month. I have a Google 1 subscription that notifies me my information is on the dark web, but the passwords mentioned were outdated. I have two-factor authentication set up. Recently, as I'm trying to start a business, whenever I create a Facebook page, it gets hacked almost immediately. I've built a website on Hostinger, focusing on strong security, yet I've started receiving emails about failed login attempts. What can I do to finally resolve this issue? I'm not tech-savvy; I'm just an accountant trying to make an honest living.

You could try using security tokens, like Google Titan or Yubikey, instead of standard two-factor authentication. These require a physical device to log in, making it much harder for anyone to breach your accounts. Just register extras in case one gets lost.
Did you just transfer everything to your new phone, including your old SIM card? If that's the case, they might still access the same accounts if your previous security wasn't removed. It's smart to start fresh by not transferring everything over from the old setup.
When you create a website, it's common for bots to try and break in right away, especially with popular hosting services. This may not be directly related to your initial hacking, but keeping an eye on your security is crucial. If you can access your server, consider installing fail2ban to help block these automated login attempts.
