But he must have used "dadada" for LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest? That might imply that "dadada" is either; 1. A password he actually uses on real accounts

But he must have used "dadada" for LinkedIn, Twitter and Pinterest? That might imply that "dadada" is either; 1. A password he actually uses on real accounts 2. Its his 'default' throwaway password on places he doesnt really care about. Either way - people (hackers) will try and use "dadada" on any/all other Mark's possible signin on any/all other websites - who knows how many times he repeated this.

  Has it been confirmed that Zuck even browses HN, nevermind have an account? I mean, he's important...but lots of important people have created accounts and posted on HN at some point...Brian Chesky, Drew Houston, Peter Norvig...though the revelation that Alan Kay posts on HN takes the cake http://www.themacro.com/articles/2016/06/hn-highlights-june-4/ http://www.themacro.com/articles/2016/06/hn-highlights-june-...

    He's on HN (pg confirmed this a few years back) but most people don't know his handle. Incidentally, I'm 99% sure I do, but I guess I won't out him.

      Without naming the account, what led you to believe that you found it?

        About three or four years ago he tried to do an ama but it didn't really take off. Asides the obvious outing himself, there were plenty of other clues confirming him. Also, I'm pretty sure he has more than one handle. By the way, I think most of us realize pg and Mark are on very good terms. Way back, I'm thinking 6'ish years back, Facebook and YC had official connections (YC startups would get access to some of Facebook's tools or some such thing, I don't fully remember. But I think YC reduced the profile of this connection because HN went all up in arms over this back then.
