    These days salting really should be made mandatory.
    Bear in mind that, as Gentile pointed out above, this is undoubtedly just some of the hashes; the fact that your password isn't on the list doesn't mean it wasn't leaked.

      My password was leaked and cracked. Not one I use anywhere else so not much chance of any damage being done elsewhere.

      Deleted the account.

        Mine shows as leaked and cracked. However, I imagine my password is one that would be chosen by lots of people, so whether it's been hacked in association with my login is not certain.

          A quick check suggests there are no duplicate entries in the file, which further supports the contention that this is a filtered subset of the data available to whoever cracked it, as we would otherwise expect duplicate entries for common things like "password", "linkedin" and "123456".

          Method used: sort SHA1.txt | uniq -d | wc -l although when that came up with zero, I confirmed by sorting into a new file (same length, obviously) then applying uniq to create another new file (same length, so no duplicates were removed) and then just for the hell of it applying uniq with the "only show duplicates" flag to produce yet another new file (zero length).

            Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

              You really typed your password into that website? Well if it wasnt leaked it could be now. (Assuming it wasnt already)

                The password doesn't get sent, only the hash. I checked, as in, I looked at the HTTP traffic with a dummy password and confirmed that it wasn't sent. (I already explained all this, but I suppose expecting people to read the damn thread before posting is too much.)

                  Aye, I conducted a password refresh anyway

                    Several years ago I worked on a project to improve a website's security.
                    At the time, the passwords were stored plain text in the database.
                    Out of curiosity, I ran a count on different passwords to see how common they were.

                    Top of the list - password.

                    About 5 of the top 20 were football teams

                    Names (mostly girls') were pretty common, as were various varieties of booze.

                    87 people had the same password as me.
