Did you (re)use that password somewhere? It is best to have unique
passwords, a different one for each login. Years ago I got
spam/blackmail type of email stating something like "we got into your
network with this pwd and we can do damage, send us some bitcoins". And
the password used to be valid (!) years before for another of my email
accounts (not for the account on which I got the blackmail). I had it
changed back then when their server was hacked. Someone made an online
profile for me, all accounts I have, passwords they could retrieve, etc
- there is a black market for such.
