Must've been a nightmare having to change all your passwords and get in contact with paypal and amazon. Hopefully you've got it all under control though, you might want to consider making new emails entirely.
I think I'll be fine with my current emails, I made sure to sign them out of every device from the Google security page but interestingly there were no suspicious devices there and my PC showed activity in Colorado (I'm in Utah) so I think the attack went through my PC. With a reinstall it should solve all that, and my emails have MFA now on top of new passwords so even if someone gets my passwords they'd need my phone too

My Coinbase had MFA fortunately (I think it might be required) but I also have close to nothing in there lol (they could have bought some though and then I'd be really screwed). Enabling MFA on as many things that let me, and I've heard Bitwarden is good so I'll look into that

also this probably wouldn't have happened if you were using gnu/linux
I'll look into that password manager as well
I'll be switching to a Linux distro as my daily in the near future, and if Microsoft goes through with having ads in file explorer I'll be bailing out then and there if it's before I naturally switch over lol (currently being tested in W11 I believe, not sure if it'd come to 10 which I'm on if it does become a thing)
