This data was not leaked due to cyberattacks on the mentioned websites, but rather through info stealer malware, phishing campaigns, credential stuffing, and other methods.
Should you be worried?
If you regularly rotate passwords for sensitive websites it's good and avoid using the same password across multiple sites, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on sensitive accounts like telegram, email and financial services.
Use a password manager to store your passwords securely ( only if it allows you to set up your own encryption.)
Also, ensure your passwords are at least 8 characters long and include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
❌ Weak Password = Not secure
✔️ Weak Password + 2FA = Safer, unless there are vulnerabilities that can bypass 2FA
✔️ Strong Password = Secure if there's no option to enable 2FA
✔️ Strong Password + 2FA = Most secure, as long as there are no other vulnerabilities compromising the account

A password shouldn’t be something easy to remember... it should be something you must remember.
