Yesterday, at 2.54 am ,i received a text message saying that cashback successfully redeemed and gift card sent to friend. rage
I was awake and logged in to my zingoy account ,which i have been using from a long time .
I dont know how it happend,but someone from Russia stole my cashback in the form of giftcard .
I know its a small amount ,just Rs250
But ,now im scared that what other passwords are compromised confused
Also, in the evening i recieved an otp from mobikwik to login to the new browser,which some one did
I changed all my passwords .

Use site like https://haveibeenpwne...m/ to check if your password/login details have been leaked in any of the data breaches (based on your email address). If you use same password for other sites, immediately change all the passwords and ensure they have Strong passwords.
