If a hacker matches your email/password and it happens to be the same one on your Fortnite account (or bank account, or whatever) they can gain access and wreak havoc. Credential stuffing is a type of brute force attack used to gain access to compromised accounts that's both simple and effective and takes advantage of less savvy internet users-the type of person likely to reuse a password across multiple sites. All they need to do is download password dumps (lists of compromised emails and associated passwords) and then use 'credential stuffing' to see which websites those combinations work on. Sadly, it's incredibly easy for hackers to find out whether or not you've been compromised. If your Fortnite account has been hacked it's likely one of your other online accounts was hacked first. It's probably never a good idea to use the same password across multiple sites for one very obvious reason: If one of your accounts is compromised, whoever hacked it can use that same information to hack into the rest of your accounts.
Using the same password across multiple sites is a bad idea.
