Do you typically grant access to your home directory? The .ssh folder is also in your home.

On most posix systems everything running as your UID has access to everything in your home directory.

I have no private key material or credentials in my .ssh folder (other than usernames and hostnames). All of my SSH private keys are stored in hardware.
