Collaborative effort to analyze the Adobe passwords dump
- voltagex_ 13y agoLooks like this was posted a little too early. It's a good idea, but I think that the reaction to "submit your password" is going to be negative.
- lunixbochs 13y agoI consider mine a "burned" password and would happily submit it to help with key recovery.
- emhart 13y agoDitto. I don't doubt plenty of people will skip that option, but I'm happy to submit mine.
- eli 13y agoWhy is key recovery desirable?
- tedunangst 13y agoEverybody gets even more fucked. Haha, lol.
- nandhp 13y agoHas anyone actually heard from Adobe about this? They haven't sent me an email (yet), but http://adobe.cynic.al/ http://adobe.cynic.al/ claims my credentials were leaked.
- davidjohnstone 13y agoYou may have gotten a false positive (as the bottom of that page explains). Try http://lucb1e.com/credgrep/ http://lucb1e.com/credgrep/ instead.
- showerst 13y agoMy email comes up in both (that one returns the correct hint and an encrypted password.) I haven't been sent an email or letter from Adobe yet, but I did have to reset my password upon trying to log in. I've read about many people having the cards they used revoked by their credit card provider, but mine hasn't been. There's also been no fraud on the account so far that I've seen.
- nandhp 13y agoYeah, not a false positive: "Looking at the length of the encrypted password, your password is between 8 and 15 characters long." (it's actually 20 characters -- maybe Adobe does password truncation?)
- manachar 13y agoI have not received any email communications from adobe on this matter. That said, I did receive a letter in the mail and was forced to change my password upon logging in to adobe.

- evan_ 13y agoYes, I received an email from Adobe shortly after the news of the leak became public.
- Nikolas0 13y agoI like the idea, but isn't this illegal?
- freditup 13y agoI can think of very few positive effects of this - what's the purpose? Anyone care to elaborate on how this is beneficial?
- _red 13y agoSome of them are pretty funny (note, this is from http://lucb1e.com/credgrep/ http://lucb1e.com/credgrep/) Your search has been succesfully performed. The result: Userid: 100206240 Email: jamie@whitehouse.gov Encrypted password: 2oeMbO/Paps= Password hint: who is the dumbest president ever
- rm999 13y agoSome password hints with that same encrypted password: idiot hero worst president My President prez gwbush is the pw I think I can guess what the password is ;)
- consonants 13y agoHey guys let's all be co-conspirators in a planning and engaging in felonious activity on a public website.
- FiloSottile 13y agoUmh, is everything "Coming soon"? EDIT: also the About and Contact links are mock.
