Even with salted hashed passwords, it's trivial to find commonly used passwords and reuse the e-mail address and password to attack other accounts, such as bank accounts, paypal, amazon, facebook, gmail, etc. Each pilfered account adds up to a payday when you sell them on the black market, for things such as money laundering, account draining, and spam)
