Already reset mine just to be sure. I highly recommend people to signup to Have i been pwned? to notify you as soon as something like this happens.

Already reset mine just to be sure. I highly recommend people to setup 2 factor authentication.

Yeah, my one address was pwned at LinkedIn and Adobe, which was resolved at that time it occurred. My other address was pwned at Dropbox so will have to change it again.
