You would imagine if you were planning to do the dirt on your other half, and had signed up to an infidelity website, that you might try and be a little smarter about hiding your moves.
Or at least the security of your account.
Now the top 20 passwords used by the men accessing the site (because nearly all users on site were male), have been revealed.
And they’re shockingly unoriginal and easy to crack.
Based on the first million account details released, software protection company Avast took the passwords encrypted for each user and ran them through the ‘500 worst passwords’ compiled by previous hacks.
And the results?
Well it’s embarrassingly obvious really.
The top five included a number sequence of ‘123456’, ‘password’, ‘12345’, ‘12345678’ and rounded off with ‘qwerty’.
Completing the top 20 were some choice words that really iterated the class (or lack thereof) of the users on site.
The top 20 passwords on the Ashley Madison site were:
1: 123456
2: password
3: 12345
4: 12345678
5: qwerty
6: pussy
7: secret
8: dragon
9: welcome
10: ginger
11: sparky
12: helpme
13: blowjob
14: nicole
15: justin
16: camaro
17: johnson
18: yamaha
19: midnight
20: chris
