Buying new hardware might be slightly over the top but it's essentially my experience with losing a Gmail account. The hijacker was extremely fast trying to get into my Amazon, PayPal, bank, credit card accounts and trying to steal my identity. The whole situation was awful.

I was stupid and used poor security which made it easier for this person (who was also probably using data from the Equifax leak for social engineering). But I wouldn't fault someone for erring on the side of paranoia.

credential recovery and account takeover is trivial, most people have automated that process. once the lock is popped, all value can be extracted, verified, and pivoted in moments.
