Comment on Researcher uncovers one of the biggest password dumps in recent history
Lesrid@lemm.ee 5 months agoI’m also trying to find the angle on it. Like with my ISP I guess someone could have my password but not necessarily my address? So from the ISP site they could peek at my address??? I’m not even sure it has my address unobfuscated but I figure it must somewhere, like “view this bill”.

A lot of ISPs provide email, too. So getting an ISP password lets them reset your other passwords which used that email address for the “forgot email” prompt. (I’m guessing you don’t use your ISP provided email, but you’re not “most people”.)
