Multiple accounts were breached after the minister used the same passwords for three different accounts.
Hackers from a left-wing group known as RedHack recently claimed to have got into three different email accounts belonging to Turkey’s Energy Minister, Berat Albayrak.
According to reports, that hack led to a huge data dump consisting of 17GB of email going all the way back to April 2000.
Apparently, the hack was greatly simplified by the fact that Albayrak used the same password for multiple accounts, making him a sitting duck for the keylogger that the attackers are said to have used.
A keylogger can, in theory, retrieve all of your passwords even if you carefully use a different one for each account.
