Check to see if you are on the list.  Keep different passwords for everything.   I did a search and did not see this posted.

some of my favorites....


looking at alot of the password makes me question the demographic of the bitcoin community.

Moral of the story: length means nothing if your password is still easy to type

My password isn't on there, and it isn't long at all. But it's hard to type. That said, I expect it to be found in the next few days.

cheers op

Same here.  Relatively short password but not susceptible to a dictionary attack and containing special characters. 

can passwords contain characters like....  ¿ ¼ ©

mine was 13 characters long, so it looks like they only got to 12 characters in length and were almost up to mine  :o

LOL, so true... also saw "pooppoop123".

Mine was only 9 chars, and wasn't on that list.   ???  Is this only the unsalted pw's?

This is including salted passwords. Also, it wasn't a full bruteforce: they looked for common patterns.

They got hacked again?

I'm happy now that I withdrew all my remaining bitcoins from Mt Gox.

Mine was 9 characters long a number and a dictionary word, no capitals or special characters   :( It should have been salted, based on my join date. It is not on that list. Still a good thing I didn't have anything in Mt. Gox though. And the only reason I didn't was, IIRC, they wouldn't let me transfer in less than 1 Btc at a time.

Mike really is a fucker.

God, I hate that guy.  >:(

interesting that these got cracked, was it salted?  looks like it would be more difficult to crack than a lot of the ones on that list

No. *some* of the passwords have been extracted from the *previously* released list of (lightly) encrypted passwords.
Everyone should have changed their mtgox passwords by now, and also on other services if they were silly enough to use the same password elsewhere.
This is just an interesting exercise in seeing what insecure passwords people tend to use.
The shorter, dictionary based passwords are easily cracked. The more complex ones will take time - if anyone can even be bothered.


Fine - be happy. But take a little time to understand what you are being happy about.
then again..  maybe too much understanding is not a recipe for happiness...  
As you were!

that looks to only go up to 9000, I wouldn't expect it to be complete for a couple months. You also have to assume most of them are throwaway accounts.

It is interesting.. but note that on a standard qwerty keyboard - it's a pattern of 6 keys at the top left.. first unshifted then shifted.

Perhaps some wannabe security guru recommended it to a bunch of suckers as an easy way to remember your complicated password?!

Mine is not there.

yet

since the days of john the ripper, the config file for it allows you to put patterns that are commonly used. i assume other
password cracking tools are also configurable for such patterns. checking simple patterns on the keyboard are often the
first to fall since they are checked for that and dictionary way before the brute force takes place using a-z A-Z 1-0 shift1-0  etc....

My favorite username and passwords were

ouch. That's potentially damning for the 'no sql injection attack occurred' line.
There are also some script tags in there that I didn't notice before.

:o


Hrmmm....you know.....I'm just gonna run out on to the street and leave a hundred dollars on a wall.....but it's okay as I can put this rock on top of it that means it won't be stolen!

FFS!


My life sucks......you know why my life sucks...because the ocd lil bitch that I am means a new username and password every time....if I walk away from something for more then a few months, que me trying to get my fucking head around what i typed at the time.....beats being raped I suppose  ::)

Not really. The records with those names were inserted succesfully, which means that no succesful sql injection happened.

At least there...

I won't use Mt Gox again, they'll have to earn my trust back.

Lol

there are really interesting passwords among them:

- 12345
- aaaaaa
- bbbbb
- asdasd

ROFL

But the list also reveals the nerdy nature of bitcoin:

several times: mutter (german for mother)

several times: schach (german for chess)

Although I think it is quite possible that the same person opened more than one account and reused the password...but anyway

Could be Hollowitz from the big bang theory ;)

Uhm, then why are all cracked passwords in the list at most 12 characters long?

My old password isn't there, I checked.

Oh yeah.. Makes sense!

Yeah.. fair enough. I was just being snarky because you seemed to jump to the conclusion they were hacked again.
I've been jumping to my own wrong conclusions so I can't really talk.

There are actually people who have not changed their password yet??? I changed and my PW is not even on MTGox.  come on people, this is a no brainer, CHANGE IS GOOD!!

Joe: "Hey Bob, is your password secure?"
Bob: "Why yes, yes it is!"

Thank you, I'll be here all week.  And the next, and the next...

Also, try the veal.
