When people say that their online accounts are hacked, they often hack into their hacked email accounts, because of weak security. Access to your email account gives hackers access to other accounts. If someone has access to your email, they can quickly search the list of sites you visit / use. Then they can visit the sites, one by one, and reset the password. When reset the password, the link will be sent to the email inbox. After this, they can change the email address in your online account on the site, and take over the account. When hackers hack into one of your accounts, it's easier for hackers to hack into your other accounts. Some sites may ask you questions for account recovery, such as "Where were you born?" and "What is your mother's maiden name?" etc. Once a hacker knows about it, then he or she can hack into your other accounts.
