Check your email accounts to ensure they are secure. Specifically check there are no ‘unknown’ email addresses attached to your account. You can usually check this by looking for headings such as: 'Filters and Blocked Addresses'and 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' sections (wording may change depending on your email provider). You can also check any Recent Activity on your account. You are looking for any devices or locations that do not reconcile with your usage.
