Black Market Website Surveillance

I received a MyFico notification today that they have found my info for sale on the black market. Unfortunately I can't exactly figure out which site(s) it may have come from because only a partial password shows.

Dummy me used a variation of a password on more than one account. For example: 12dg58rch; po2558rch; 638roc58rch All I see then on the alert is ******58rch (in case you're wondering, these are not the actual passwords, nor are they even close

So, now I have to change a bunch of passwords and hope for the best. Incidentally, the free monitoring by EQ has not alterted me to anything. Thank again, Equifax.

Has anyone had this come up and did you experience any problems afterward as a result?

In addition to changing all your passwords (don't forget bank accounts), I would freeze all 3 CRAs, or lock if you have the access, if you haven't already done so, something that should have been done after the Equifax data breach last year.
