PSA: My friend in Austin said his email got hacked because he used the same password for his fantasy football league and his bank.
It hit different because he's a smart guy who works in tech, and he admitted he just got lazy about making new passwords for 'low risk' sites.

How bad is it really though? Most people reuse passwords, its just the way it is. If the fantasy site got hacked, that sucks but its not like they got into his actual bank account right? They would still need his username and probably a text code. Feels like the risk gets blown out of proportion sometimes.

But what about the 24% of people who use the same password everywhere, no extra codes?

Wait, you think text codes stop them? They can just steal your phone number too lol.
