The title should be most commonly stolen passwords of 2015. It isn't very surprising to me that easy-to-guess passwords are the most stolen.
- lampington 11y agoDepends how they're stolen. If a site that wasn't using unsalted hashes for storing them was hacked, then it doesn't matter how guessable they are.
- x1798DE 11y agoIf they are hard to guess, there's very little chance of collisions, so you'd expect the list of most common passwords and most guessable passwords to be the same anyway.
