This is definitely fake! I did some simple googling and found this : http://leakster.net/leaks/fbimail It seems someone else already did this hack and these guys simply copy-pasted the passwords to make it look like their hack. Apparently, these copy-pasters are The Hackers Army from Pakistan.

And this: http://leakster.net/leaks/fbivuln

This link on Hackernews is nothing but a publicity stunt by THA. Waste of few minutes of my life.

So where do we sign in to validate this works? Purely for research purposes. Not saying I want to sign in another person's account, but just out of curiosity, where do we sign in?

Facebook, banks, etc. I'd venture that some of these people's personal accounts are compromised by the leak.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not a single sentence, can it be that they allow characters like ( and % but not whitespace? Boggles my mind that people don't use more sentences.

There's one ilovemydaughternancy with no spaces. Why would you want spaces?

Sentences are easier to remember. Yet grammatically correct sentences can give you things like capital letter, whitespaces and even periods.

I wish you had not done this. I did not want to see anybody's passwords, or create any sort of record that I myself downloaded the password list (which i did not.) Perhaps this is my fault for even clicking on the comments thread of this article. And of course there are many reasons to call me paranoid. Nonetheless, well, I will be moving on now!

Not only did you click on the comments but you created a much more permanent record by posting...maybe you're just trolling?

I don't like this being listed on ycombinator. I have now just gone to a site with all the passwords on, I was expecting an article about it. I do not like the fact that I have just browsed that page!

Dude its a fake article. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4678064

A lot of these are good. Some not so much... passwords123 passwored12 password$qwerty qwertylol@me passwords123456 password123 password111111

What's wrong with 3 and 4? It appears that, in general, the FBI staff are setting reasonable passwords. There are a few passwordNNN types but the majority are adequate and, in my opinion, would hold up well against a brute force vector, which is the primary purpose of password complexity.

I'd be interested to see if either 3 or 4 appear on existing password dictionaries.
