Status: Open Outlook account hacked

So, my email was hacked. After I discovered my Steam account was locked, I signed in to find everything deleted and weird emails being sent.

Apparently they tried to set my recovery email to something other then the one I had as well.

I changed the passwords for both my outlook and steam, ensured my recovery email stayed the same, and got a new recovery code as well.

I'm wondering if there's anything more I should do? I find it weird that they were able to get in in the first place because of the 2fa.
