Emails/users plus passwords can be used for bruteforcing other accounts (usernames and passwords are often reused), or they could hijack your account on chapo.chat (which is the current backup domain for hexbear).
would I have to try to login again for this to happen, or could it happen anyway?
You would have to attempt to log in on a phony website. This domain auction does not give the new owner any access to the data stored on the current lemmy instance hosted underneath it.
It’s like selling your house. The new owner may get your address, but they don’t get ownership of your furniture.
