Yahoo Password Breach

In the wake of the recent Yahoo password breach, CNET writer Declan McCullagh has been analyzing the stolen passwords.

Here are a couple of his observations (taken from his Twitter feed): 
Yes, an FBI agent specializing in Homeland Security/counterterrorism actually used "PA$$w0rd01" as his Yahoo password

Most popular Yahoo password: "1234567" (used 1,667 times), followed by "password" (780 times) + "welcome" (437 times)
