I think my reddit account is in danger

a few days ago i came here to ask help for my steam account getting hacked, 3 weeks ago my instagram and gmail also got hacked but i enabled 2fa and changed my passwords and nothing happened after that.

i think this virus came from something shady that my brother downloaded, and i resetted my computer alltoghether(without using usb cus idk how that works) and after that i ran a windows defender which said i was in clear and i never connected my computer to internet nor logged in with my new information

today, i got an email like this and after changing the password like email wanted reddit just says there is an error and i cant log in to my that account, does anyone knows whats happening?

email that i got;

My steam account got hacked, I have the account but how can I make sure this can never happen again?

I don't know how that happened but i already had 2fa and email vertified when this happened. Suddenly, I got an email saying i gifted someone games worth of 60 usd, which I never did. I immediately changed my password, log out from all devices, and cancelled my card alongside creating refund requests. My issue is not with the money but how can this even happened? and how can I prevent it from happening again?
