I used to think password managers were just extra hassle, but getting my email hacked in 2021 changed my mind completely.

Oh man, my buddy learned that the hard way too. Someone got into his social media and messaged all his contacts. He spent a whole weekend apologizing to people.

Man, that cleanup is the worst part. What gets me is the weird stuff they send. Like, my cousin's hacker posted a link to "free shoes" to all her aunts. It wasn't even a scam link, just a weird ad. Makes you wonder what the point was.

Honestly that's rough, but it's usually called getting hacked, not just someone getting into it.
