This was a good reminder to enable two-factor authentication, but I don't think there's anything going on right now. If there's accounts being hacked, it's probably because some other service was hacked and fools were using the same password for multiple services.
People, start using password managers already! They make it easy to have a unique password for each service, which is probably the single most important thing about computer security. With a password manager, you only have to remember one master password, which should be very good. For easy use, there's online password managers (such as LastPass), but if for some reason you don't trust them, there's offline solutions as well. They're not as convenient, but they're still easy to use. KeePass is one such solution.
Did I already emphasize enough that reusing passwords is extremely dangerous? At the very least, you should use a different password for your email accounts. If anyone ever gets access to your email account, you can say goodbye to all of your other accounts as well because of password reset functionality. And that goes for ALL your email accounts pretty much, because your primary email account probably has some secondary email account set, and if anyone ever gets access to your secondary email account, there goes your primary email account as well.
tl;dr. Use a different password for each service, or at the very least for your email accounts. Use a password manager if you have to.
EDIT: Two-factor authentication also helps a lot, because then knowing your password isn't enough anymore. If it works by phone, someone needs access to your phone to gain access to your account. If it works by email, two-factor authentication is essentially as secure as your email account.
