People's passwords are sad. http://www.troyhunt.com/2011/06/brief-s ... lysis.html

I don't think the autotrader passwords will affect many people on here. But, if you were born before 1943, your info has been grabbed. I was able to log onto some poor person's facebook account just using the same passord/email. (I just changed their password for them, but still......this is bad)

Use better passwords, and keep them different between sites!

God damnit, now I gotta change my password to Dentures Monthly.

That's horrible their passwords are saved as plain text. That's like, Password Encrypting 101.

Well, looks like Facebook is kind of on top of it now. This is a cropped screenshot from a random email/password I tried....
