Forbes Cracked Passwords from Feb 2014

Did a really quick analysis of the Forbes password hashes leaked by the Syrian Electronic Army earlier. From the 1,071,734 password hashes that hashcat recognised as WordPress, 2713 were cracked in about 30 minutes.

There were no switches, GPUs, rules or anything used.. I just used the unedited top 25 passwords taken from the top 10,000 list published by Mark Burnett (xato.net). -> blog post here

The results show that 975 people have 123456 as a password.. some things never change! Top 25 cracked hashes follow:
