Yes, but once you are in to the point where you have the db...what else are you going after?
If you can dump the db then (most likely) you also have the credit cards, other information that is useful to you?
This assumes a hacker has a financial motivation.
- city41 15y agoI would hope the db didn't store credit card info or at least encrypted it somehow. Granted that's a pretty big hope. But if you can crack the passwords in the db you have, chances are those passwords will work on other sites. People often use one password for everything.

There are many conceivable attacks that would result in a read-only dump of password hashes. An administrator's account would be useful in such an administration, turning your read-only access to read-write access.
