I was positively surprised by the amount of good passwords in that list. If you look at any other leak incident the amount of 'simple' and non-randomly generated passwords is much much higher.
In fact I think that is a testament to that this is actually a list from the FBI.
BTW everyone immediately assumes that these passwords were stored in plain text, but that does not have to be the case at all, this leak nowhere states that these passwords are from a database.
If a host gets hacked, there are plenty ways to obtain passwords without looking into a database.
