I was hacked?

Guys my outlook accounts, Bluesky, X.com, Steam account have been hacked.

My PC have no virus, trojans or simmilars, so I don't know what that heck is going on.

I have ESET and Spybot.

Did you use the same email and password for those accounts? If they get one password/email combo on the dark web, that's all they need to try to access your other accounts.

I highly recommend a password manager like KeePass to generate or create complex passwords, something unique, for every platform you use to avoid stuff like that happening in the future.

Sorry to hear you had to deal with all of that though :( It's never fun...

Each of my accounts uses a different password, and I use Keepass to save or generate them. My accounts have passwords with capital letters, numbers, symbols, and letters that don't exist in English, such as ñ, ð, ç, ß, among many others.

But, I can't understand how, where is the security flaw?

The security flaw might not be on your end, but on those sites. A few years back I had several hundred dollars taken from my checking account. The thieves used some crazy roundabout manner of using my hacked e-bay account, buying a few weird overseas items which in all likelihood was a seller account they created since the seller's account was gone when I spotted the transaction on my banking account. Long story short- ebay and my bank investigated the fraudulent charges, and my bank fully refunded me for the fraudulent charges.

The thing is, it's all just speculation at this point as to what exactly occurred. The main thing is do what you can to recover your accounts, and use 2 factor security whenever you can from now on, if you weren't already.

No basta que tengas diferentes contraseñas en cada sitio, si tus contraseñas tienen palabras fáciles de descifrar, como algún nombre o si usas puros números, te van a hackear fácilmente, debes usar combinación de números, símbolos y hasta mayúsculas, y si tiene una extension de 12 caracteres o mas, mejor.
Tambien no es recomendable guardar las contraseñas en tu PC o en Google, hay que usar un Password manager de terceros.
Y finalmente, no basta simple virus, debes conseguirte una suite completa que te protege de ataques directos de internet, no siempre un hackeo viene de un virus, spyware o malware.

AH falto mencionarte que para una mayor seguridad si o si necesitas verificación de dos pasos en cualquier sitio importante, especialmente redes sociales.
