Should I be worried?

Change all passwords on your accounts and make sure that they haven't gotten into any of them.  I had this issue a while back and they got into my pay pal and could have done damage but I got to it early enough. Then I made a new email completely and deleted that one because I didn't trust it.

OP, change password. Make sure password is LONG (at LEAST 16 digits long) contains 1 or more numbers and 1 or more special digits (such as $#@!). This makes it hard for someone to hack into your accounts using a brute force method.

My Rig: 2x Xeon x5690 @ 3.45Ghz 24GB DDR3 EEC RAM Asus STRIX GeForce GTX 970 SuperMicro X8DT3 Windows Server 2008 R2

 

Here's a little TL;DR of what you need to know about the GTX 970 and R9 390

R9 390 works better in VRAM-bound scenarios and compute bound scenarios and is best paired with higher end processors

GTX 970 works better in CPU-bound scenarios and tessellation bound scenarios and is best paired with lower end processors

My password is 16 digits long and has capitals and numbers, I just don’t understand how they got in
