hacking Leaked password or hacked pc?

I use multiple Proton and Gmail accounts across different websites (I’m not saying the email accounts themselves were hacked).

Recently, I noticed unauthorized logins on several services: LinkedIn (Gmail), Instagram (Proton Mail), Twitter/X (Proton Mail), and most recently Reddit (Gmail).

Some of these services detected the logins and sent me security emails, but in other cases I didn’t receive any notification about a new login or session.

What makes this especially concerning is Reddit, since I use Google Sign-In and have 2FA enabled, so it shouldn’t be possible to access the account with just a leaked password.

What could be causing this? This seems like more than just a password leak, especially since multiple unrelated accounts using different email providers are being affected.

Could this be caused by a malicious Opera browser extension, stolen session cookies, malware, or even a keylogger on Windows?

How can I systematically detect which of these possibilities is responsible?

Most likely is you reuse bad passwords.look up "have I been pwned" and put in different user names

Fijate si algun proceso esta ejecutandose más de lo normal, puede que sea quien intente comunicarse con las datos de tu navegador (malware). Y controla donde ingresaste con las cuentas si ves que no reconoces los dispositivos es por que ya tienen acceso, cambia las contraseñas y utiliza 2f
