Did they send out a survey asking people to respond with their password? And did they get a large number of responses? I would bet that you could. Actually I got here wondering if there is a list of the top 10,000 or so passwords. The sort of list that a hacker might use for an automatic assualt. It would be useful to be able to search it when trying to choose a simple, but safe password. So how did they get this list? Did they send out a survey asking people to respond with their password?
