If they get into my email, they'll see how boring my email life is. I'm not emailing the President. They might find out that a friend's kid hit a home run in a baseball. What will they do, email people with my account? Like I care?
I've not yet seen the reasoning in my life of how devastating it would be.
I think passwords have become the boogy man for the media. Now, if you're hacking into a business that has intellectual property, then I get it, but I don't see the value in the end, home user.
So you know have access to my netflix account? Good, could you send me the login, because I can't remember it.
