Your app is a massive target, if your domain or web server is taken over, what implications would this have on the end users using your app (if any)?


If it's a social app users should worry about account take over making you look bad/illegal or tricking you to enter your password to other OAUTH accounts. Privacy implications etc. Similar to if the app owner changed hands to someone trying to milk it. As always you be suspicious of any permission asks to limit damage in these cases.
