I woke up and my email has been signed up to hundreds of online services. How can I fix this?

I woke up this morning to over 900 emails of several online services asking to confirm I’ve made an account. Last month my email had been compromised and they managed to get into my eBay and Amazon accounts. I managed to remedy the situation, and changed my passwords on everything. My password on my email is different from all my other accounts and is a fairly strong one. But today it seems to have been compromised again.

  1. How can I fix this so I stop getting signed up for accounts?

  2. Is that email address far gone and I just need to get a new one?

  3. How could this happen, so I can better prevent it in the future?

  4. Could this somehow be related to my last breach, or is it just a coincidence?

  5. What’s the point of breaching an email to sign up for hundreds of accounts in one night?
