So this password data file has been around since 2021. It's just passwords. They are not linked to anything, not accounts, not websites, not numbers. Just passwords. So it's kinda useless. It might help the NSA or something very sophisticated to narrow down how many passwords to try in a brute force attack, or some researcher who wants to study trends in passwords. But, as long as you use a unique password for every single service it is going to be a nightmare for anybody to break into your accounts because they are just plain passwords. Not salts, no rules, no bells or whistles on how the passwords get encrypted.</p></blockquote><p></p>
