A partial analysis of another massive leak of user passwords has again shone a light on the scourge of weak passwords used to protect sensitive data in online accounts. Using the leaked password list from STRATFOR, the open source intelligence service that was hacked last month, reporters from The Tech Herald were able to decipher over 80,000 of the hashed passwords, around 10% of the more than 800,000 passwords stolen in the attack. The analysis showed that trivial passwords like 123456, 11111111 and 123123 were common among STRatFOR customers.
