My Runescape account was hacked when i was younger. They got in via a dataleak leaking my email credentials. At that point i was already into computers more than the average person, so it kinda was a kick in the butt that pushed me to pursue better security practices, which opened up the rabbit whole into data privacy for me. Rip my mith armor from 2006 lol.
