There was a big server, forgot name, that had a authme-like plugin, and recorded passwords. They then compiled a list, and then did something with them. ( I have no clue. ) This could mean there could be several 'Account Farms', which work if you use the same password for everything. For instance, let's say I join X. I register my password as X. In their server files, they would have a file somewhere saying: ' User : X, Pass : X ' or something like that. If you used X as your minecraft password, they have that. If you use that as your paypal account, then you should immediately switch passwords or contact somebody who can help. By going onto these 'Account Farms' they could use your account to advertise X server, thus creating an almost endless amount of accounts. I'm pretty sure Hypixel was recently attacked by an account farms account bots, I can tell because there was not only several regular players, but a VIP and MVP+. Thanks for reading, stay safe!

I always use a different password such as "LOLOLOL" or "password87" for those kind of servers.
