Please note that it is especially important to change
your passwords on the
Wikimania wikis where you have accounts. These are non-SUL wikis and
changing your SUL password will not effect a change on the Wikimania 2013
and 2014 wikis. Even if you never intend to edit those wikis again, your
password and account could still hypothetically be compromised.
Actually, changing your SUL password should change your password on
all your attached Wikimedia wikis accounts. This includes all public
wikis, but does not include private or fishbowl ones. So, for example,
if you also used the same password on wikimaniateamwiki or
foundationwiki, you will need to change it separately there.

But normally notices of compromised passwords include

login where they've used similar information, in case the combination
of name and password is sold or someone attempts to use their
knowledge of you to access your information on other sites. Perhaps
that is part of the e-mail notification the WMF sent; if not, it's
good practice.
This too. If you used the same password combination elsewhere (you
shouldn't, but people often do), then you should change those too.
