Wired has posted an article that reveals the most common Hotmail passwords. The list was compiled using those leaked passwords we told you about yesterday.

A researcher who examined 10,000 Hotmail, MSN and Live.com passwords that were recently exposed online has published an analysis of the list and found that “123456″ was the most commonly used password, appearing 64 times.
 
None of the articles I've read explained which phishing attack they used. It might be a new one that people should be aware of.
 
maybe that is a password of a spam bot program.

Just think how many of the hotmail account was made for spamming. Maybe no one really got hacked just a list of spam bots.

Dark Helmet: How many asholes do we have on this ship, anyway?
[Entire bridge crew stands up and raises a hand]
Entire Bridge Crew: Yo!
Dark Helmet: I knew it. I'm surrounded by assholes!
[Dark Helmet pulls his face shield down]
Dark Helmet: Keep firing, assholes!
 
The 10,000 passwords and user names, believed to be booty from a phishing attack, were posted over the weekend to the clipboard site PasteBin.

Hey! That's...............ahh, forget it.

But as president of Planet Spaceball, I can assure both you and your fellow [H]'s that there's absolutely no air shortage whatsoever. Yes, of course. I've heard the same rumor myself. Yes, thanks for calling and not reversing the charges. Bye.
 
Am I the only one that feels gipped there was no Spaceballs 2 for the prequels?
 
The longest password was 30 characters — lafaroleratropezooooooooooooo

I've regularly used entire sentances for passwords, easily over 20 char in length... not sure if I've ever used one quite that long before though.

Secret
Sex
God

The Plague: Our recent unknown intruder penetrated using the superuser account, giving him access to our whole system.

Margo: Precisely what you're paid to prevent.

The Plague: Someone didn't bother reading my carefully prepared memo on commonly-used passwords. Now, then, as I so meticulously pointed out, the four most-used passwords are: love, sex, secret, and...

Margo: [glares at The Plague]

The Plague: god. So, would your holiness care to change her password?

Not a true fan, other wise you would of known the name of the character Penn plays. Here is a clue, "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that...". The movie was just beyond funny.
