I think if this happened to me I would just assume the company was hacked due to poor security practices. It seems much more likely than my password being stolen from a device of mine considering that a very significant percentage of companies I have account with seem to have had breaches at some point. But maybe I am just naive.

That was my 90%+ likelihood explanation too, but I figured Slack had its act together, and the risk of being wrong was too high.

I think it’s different depending on who you are and what systems you have access to. The Keybase CEO is much more vulnerable to targeted attacks where 0-days would be potentially worth the cost.

That's true of course, I'm not a valuable target so it is both less likely I would be targeted and less important if I was successfully hit.
