According to Julian Assange (a.k.a that Wikileaks Guy That the Left Loved When He Was Spilling the Bean on Bush But Now Hate For Revealing the Deep Corruption and Incompetence of the Democrat Party) a child could have hacked the DNC emails.
In an interview, Assange revealed the campaign chairman’s (Jon Podesta) password was ‘password’ and that he had responded to phishing emails.
Seriously?
By the way, back in October the FBI investigated links between the Trump campaign and Russia. They didn’t come up with anything.
Then again, that was before Hillary lost and the Democrats needed to delegitimize Trump.
Also, Landslide McCain is apparently going to open his own investigation into the “Russian Hacking.”
It’s like he’s a cross between Matlock and Barnaby Jones. Only lots older, not nearly as smart, and ready to reignite the Cold War for the sake of delegitimizing Trump.
Maybe he should go back to posing for photo ops with the leaders of ISIS.
So, Podesta”s password had less than 15 bits of entropy.

At 1,000 guesses per seconds, it would have taken 30 seconds for any nerdy teen to guess it.
Seems consistent with what happened.
Favorite movie ever!! Made my day thanks!
@1 – Cyril, back in the olde days, default Compuserve passwords were a couple of common, but unrelated, words separated by a a punctuation character (e.g. “vessel-mandate”).
Easy to remember but relatively hard to crack. I still use similar passwords, where allowed.
I’m not sure why people aren’t encouraged to use pass-phrases (per your graphic) with some minimum complexity as opposed to stuff like djAd98$%hx4 which is impossible to memorize or P@s$w0rd which is crackable.
I suspect that a lot of website designers aren’t up on cryptography (especially the ones that store “encoded” passwords or unsalted hashes).
My other gripe, while I’m on a roll, is inconsistent user/password login pages which aren’t compatible with password managers (which make unique and complex passwords less of a hassle).
Of course, and same here, hence the xkcd cartoon 😉
As for the DNC geniuses, they’re seemingly too freaking stupid to only keep themselves up-to-date with our era.

That’s because the last “new” idea they had was in October 1917.

Indeed.

The hardest part of cracking my passords will be guessing how many pigs Obama blew & male donkeys he received.
