Today I received letters from Facebook and Twitter that someone suspicious logged in under my account, in connection with which I was offered to change my password, which I did immediately.

Unfortunately, I did not save the IP and other data of the “intruder” that FB showed me, if you tell me how to see it again, I will be grateful.

So, I was wondering - did anyone else receive such notifications today / yesterday? Is this a mass phenomenon?

My passwords did not shine anywhere, if that.

This was not, but I regularly receive letters:

Subj: Getting back onto Facebook
Hi,
Sorry you've been having trouble logging into your Facebook account. Get back on Facebook now
You can also get password help or login help on Facebook.
Thanks,
The Facebook Team
This message was sent to [my email] at your request.

I have confirmation configured when logging in from unknown devices, so for now I'm not particularly worried.

I also received an email yesterday that twitter reset my password with the rationale "We suspect your account has been compromised by a site or service unrelated to Twitter". As a result, I had to change my password.

I haven't received any emails, but for the past two days, spam from my account has been appearing on Twitter. Tweets are "written" via the Mobile Web -> disabled access to this application in the settings. Today seems ok.

It was the same with FB for me.
But I changed passwords on absolutely all services (gmail, twi, etc.) + replaced all security questions and answers. To be honest, I wasted a couple of hours on this.
