That Adobe got hacked isn't your fault - that you chose a weak password and reused it, is.
Showing a few more numbers might help more people realize that their passwords aren't actually unique, creative or safe. The data that came out of the Adobe hack is pretty interesting, and the results are much more tangible than "oh no, pwned!".
Something like:
"Your password was used by 8290 people.
Furthermore, 2615 persons gave a plain text hint as to what the password might be."
