All the passwords you’ve ever saved
Ever given your Google password because you couldn’t access your email? They can wire your savings to themselves.
Just got out of a serious relationship? Your ex probably piggybacks off your Netflix subscription, and stalks your instagram.
Why is this a problem?
I’ve seen a real world case where a Google account compromise led to a takeover of social media accounts unrelated to the address.. this was the only place where the passwords were stored
This defeats resetting the victim’s password to gain entry into their accounts, and allows for “silent” stalking after obtaining the Google password.
