But after learning Lifeboat had been breached and his password was floating around in the cyber ether, he got to work changing all his passwords. It was, and Hennihenner was spooked, worried about accounts he considers important, such as YouTube, Reddit, Twitter and Steam, because he had used the “same password since 2011.” Although he knew it was a “bad idea,” he had justified his password reuse by thinking he only used “safe websites” or thought no one would hack an account that is not connected to money. Hennihenner was notified by Have I Been Pwned’s Troy Hunt to help verify if a new breach was legit. A prime example of that was given by Hennihenner, a self-described “casual gamer” in Germany. The chances are much greater that many people reuse their Lifeboat password for other online sites. Of course it’s not online banking you should pray for the safety of any poor soul using the same password for a game that they use for banking as it likely happens.
