I recently got hacked on my EA account but was able to recover it. I've already changed the password and email for that account, and I've also updated all my email passwords. What other passwords should I consider changing to keep myself secure?

Make sure to update the passwords for your social media accounts too. Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) there can add an extra layer of security!

Change all your passwords, and wherever you can, enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to enhance security.

Definitely change all your passwords, especially for any accounts where you've reused passwords. It's best to lock down your security as much as possible.

If you haven't already, consider using a two-factor authentication app instead of relying on SMS or email for 2FA codes. This reduces the risk of getting codes sent to an insecure method. Also, check for any email forwarding rules that might have been set up without your permission.
