- c_hackett 12y agoUnclear if simply from previous lists which have been checked against the above services for password reuse
- gcb0 12y agoamazon, that's new. the rest everyone already know better and i hope nobody has an active credit card associated with, but only prepaid/temp ones. but amazon, that's scary.
- sp332 12y agoIf only 13k accounts are listed, that means they didn't directly crack one of these services. They probably got a list of emails and passwords from a smaller site, tried them out on other services, and posted the ones that worked. So the moral is: don't reuse passwords, especially on sites that have your credit card info!
- SEJeff 12y agoAnd this is why we as techies should push and push for all major web service providers to support some form of 2 factor authentication. A bad password + 2fa is still more secure than a secure password without 2fa.
