Need Advice regarding Breach

[mytimbuk2]

I was recently notified that My information was involved in a breach of the Integris Health System.  I was given a 2 year free monitoring service with IDX so I signed up and ran a scan and was provided with the following information and I don't know where to go from here>

Type: Breach

Source: Mother of All Breaches (MOAB): malwarebytes.org (111,611 Records)

On January 22, 2024, a large collection of previously breached data known as the 'Mother of All Breaches' (MOAB) was leaked online. Compromised data from malwarebytes.org was included in the collection. ZeroFox extracted 111,611 records containing personally identifiable information from the data.

So what does this mean exactly and what do I do about it?

Change any and all passwords on every online site you use.

Use different passwords on every site.  I have been recommending this to my older clients. https://www.amazon.com/Taja-Password-Alphabetical-Tabs，Small-Organized/dp/B0BZCDQX4K/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1V7QN68BYFLOV&keywords=password%2Bkeeper%2Bbook&sprefix=password%2Caps%2C254&sr=8-5&th=1

Use 2-factor authentication (2FA) on any site that has the option.

I'm a 60+ human and using keepass2 works great ... Once you get used to it.
