Nej, men det är ganska vanligt att folk använder samma lösenord över allt. Dom som snott lösenorden har nog snart knäckt en stor del och kommer sedan säkerligen prova användarnamn och lösenord på andra siter dom vill åt. Email och facebook för spam och scam etc.

Precis som jag själv gjort tidigare men slutat med för någon månad sedan.
Nu använder jag som sagt One password. Fast inte ens det räcker i alla lägen.
Eftersom han är en känd journalist var det väl någon som ville djävlas.
More than just one password: Lessons from an epic hack
Posted on Aug 19, 2012 by Jeff
Mat Honan, a 1Password user and writer for Wired, did everything right. He had strong, unique passwords everywhere. Yet he was the victim of an “epic hack”, and had to put a great deal of effort into getting his digital life back.
A very brief account of this Homer-worthy hack is that someone talking to Amazon customer service got into Mat’s Amazon account, from which they were able to learn enough about him to then call Apple’s customer service to get a new password set. Once they had Mat Honan’s Apple ID and password they used Remote Wipe to erase his iOS devices and his Macs. This has been written about extensively elsewhere, but I would like to talk about this in the context of whether there are useful lessons for 1Password users.
Mat described part of his recover process thusly:
I’m a heavy 1Password user. I use it for everything. That means most of my passwords are long, alphanumeric strings of gibberish with random symbols. It’s on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook. It syncs up across all those devices because I store the keychain in the cloud on Dropbox. Update a password on my phone, and the file is saved on Dropbox, where my computer will pull it down later, and vice versa.
But I didn’t have it on any of our other systems. So now I couldn’t get to my keychain. And so I was stuck in a catch-22. My Dropbox password was itself a 1password-generated litany of nonsense. Without access to Dropbox, I couldn’t get my keychain. Without my keychain, I couldn’t get into Dropbox.
