Why Reusing Passwords Is Dangerous: The JustDropped Example

When you create an account on a website, do you REALLY think your password is encrypted??

This is exactly why you should never reuse the same password across different platforms / accounts.

JustDropped - a huge marketplace of expired domains w/ more than 500,000 monthly visitors according to Hypestat will LITERALLY email you your original username and password if you click “Forgot Password” :D
