Seriously? Another Password Article.

Right, listen up, you lot. Apparently, some researchers – and I use that term *loosely* – have been poking around at password reuse across a bunch of services. Shocking, isn’t it? People are still using the same damn password everywhere. Like leaving your house key under the doormat, but for your entire digital life.

They found a metric fuckton of credentials floating around from breaches years old – 2017, 2019, even earlier! And guess what? People *still* haven’t changed them. They’re using these compromised passwords on things like banking sites and email. Idiots. Absolute idiots.

The worst part? They built a tool – “Password Graveyard” – to show you just how screwed you are if you’re one of these repeat offenders. It checks your email against leaked databases. Like you *need* a tool to tell you reusing ‘password123’ is a bad idea. Honestly, it’s insulting.

They’re even doing a live session on October 24th to demonstrate the sheer scale of this mess. Probably so they can feel superior while watching everyone panic. Don’t bother asking me for help; I’m not your digital babysitter. Just use a password manager, enable MFA, and stop being lazy.

Oh, and they mention some services are *worse* than others when it comes to password reuse. No shit, Sherlock. The point is, the whole internet is basically held together by duct tape and wishful thinking because people can’t be bothered with basic security hygiene.

Anecdote (Because I Feel Like Ranting)

I once had to clean up a system after some user used “admin” as their password for *everything*. Seriously, everything. Database admin? Admin. Root account on the server? Admin. Their coffee machine login? You guessed it. The audit logs looked like a toddler wrote them. I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to self-destruct.
