Worst of all, it's a full access, not a scope-restricted one. Imagine somebody hacking Plaid and you disabling 2FA, because otherwise you can't use some of the fancy new services you saw on Product Hunt.

Worst of all, is their privacy policy.

It is not necessary to "hack" Plaid.

Yeah, it's the users who got hacked when they signed up.
