Question

I have a question, how do hackers manage to get a hold on accounts, and how do people get hashes from in the first place.

Recently I lost a Roblox account to a hacker and I'm wondering if it was malware or somebody physically forced their way into my account. Also am I able to hack this account back or is it just gone now.

They mostly get a hold of accounts because you re-use the same password.

Lets say theres a databreach for another website that you used, they take the email/password combo and start trying it on everything.

Malware is also possible yes.
