There was another data breach recently (not from Town of Salem) where 773 million emails and 21 million passwords have been leaked. "To make matters worse, the passwords are in plain text and easily readable." Make sure yourr friends and family know about that. If in doubt, they may search online for "data breach news" and they will find plenty of articles. As another note,  '''If you receive an email from a suspicious sender, INCLUDING APPEARING FROM YOUR OWN EMAIL, where they include a password you really have used, do not reply to the email. Just delete the email.''' Do not fall for the scam emails. For example, there have been emails sent out saying people's Town of Salem passwords, and the sender says that they've recorded you from your webcam. They ask you to send money. Ignore the email. And obviously if you haven't changed your passwords yet, get on that. Grab a pen and paper to write down your new passwords for now.
