What social media are you talking about specifically? And it will be good to have some more details. If you are not comfortable sharing them here, maybe you can drop me a PM?

like my FB and Twitter account suddenly can't login and received notification from gmail that there's another user login from another country. so scary. i change all my passwords immediately, don't know if that's enough.

@1do1do perhaps you can check through your emails and see if you have left any sensitive info. choose a stronger password if possible. don't use same password for ur social medias.

@1do1do, you should also check through your sent folder in gmail to see if any emails were sent out from your gmail, you might be used to infect your contacts too.
Changing your password is good, but make sure you change the passwords for other accounts
