My password was leaked in plaintext from a data breach

Around 8 or so years ago I found my password in plaintext together with my email in a combolist found by haveibeenpwned. It was my first password and I was young when I created it - so it wasn't secure. Since then I've changed my passwords to everything and I use a password manager. I haven't noticed any shady activity on any of my accounts, so does that mean that I'm safe now that I've changed all my passwords? Was I really just lucky that no one took over my account before I changed my password?
