In a post, the security firm said the username and “ridiculously weak” password were harvested by information-stealing malware that had been installed on an Orange computer since September.

So the password being weak was actually irrelevant here, even if it was 32 random characters they would have pulled it off that pc.

That’s why I only use “hunter2” for mine. With the number, it’s more secure.

40 years from now when our devices just encode encrypted keys into our brains directly to identify us, we'll still be making this joke.

40 years from now and I will finally be hunter2. My dream.

Nah, you need more numbers in your passwords. That's why mine is always 123456789!

That’s why I only use “*******” for mine. With the number, it’s more secure.

I guess it works because I can't see the password.
