So some security lessons hopefully learned: 

• Email is a terrible 2FA method and it is misleading for services that offer it as such. SMS is nearly as terrible. Use TOTP, Yubikey, or passkeys instead. 
• Never use "login with Google" or the like, it just means if your main account gets hacked, everything is hacked. 
• Never type your credentials in a VM with sketchy software. Better yet, just don't use sketchy software ever. 
• Use a password manager that is not tied to any other account and has its own login and 2FA.
• Don't trust cloud storage. If you're gonna use it, always at least have an offline backup of your files somewhere on a physical medium in case your cloud storage provider just decides to deny you access, as Microsoft did here.

Unfortunately, most people have not learned any of these lessons.

Best way to not get hack is to not use the internet
