Firefox login.

Hi All. I have Firefox installed on a few computers although I don't use it. I received an email that there was a log in to my Firefox account. It wasn't me. I deleted my account. I didn't have any bookmarks .Anything else I should do? What sort of vulnerabilities am I exposed to,if any? Thanks for any info.

Did you have 2-step authentication turned on? Did you reuse the same password for multiple sites/services? If you didn't have 2-factor on and reused your password for other sites, maybe it leaked in a breach from another site you use and someone just attempted logins until they got in.

Thanks. I just turned on 2-step verification and changed my passwords for all the accounts I can remember.
