Top 25 Gawker Passwords

Here are the laziest of the passwords revealed by the massive Gawker hack. Old standbys like “1235456” and “password” make an appearance, but there’s still room on the list for upstarts like “fuckyou” and “cheese.” posted on December 13, 2010 at 5:25pm EST

      Not that there aren’t idiots with bad passwords, but some of these are probably from people who don’t care if their Gawker account gets hacked (and thus probably not using the same password elsewhere) or are making a temporary account to troll with or something.

      People are stupid. I especially feel bad for those reading Gizmodo, a tech blog, for God’s sake, not knowing better than to pick a password like “gizmodo.” Personally, I’ve got a good system that allows me to pick memorable but very hard-to-guess passwords. It involves shifts of letters both in the alphabet and on the keyboard. An old one I’ve already phased out is -9D-QpQDd)_qd. The one weakness of my passwords is that I need to have a keyboard in front of me to know what they are.
