  • No website is invulnerable. Since we know from Reddit's godawful official app they don't do development very well, no doubt the website also has vulnerable holes.

    • They didn't access the data through a vulnerability in the code, they phished some employee credentials and access it that way.

      • That in itself is a vulnerability. In my company we check for impossible travel, browser variance, etc. Credentials are only one aspect of this.
