- Lucas123, on 03/16/2009, -0/+93Great. Now I've got to change my password again. I'm aready up to 1234.
- ekula, on 03/16/2009, -2/+71fta, “That isn’t just my password for Comcast, it’s my password for everything that is not tied to my credit card,” Mr. Andreyo said in an interview.
some people just deserve it - GetItBuilt, on 03/16/2009, -1/+65There was no major concerns for end users once 7,999 of the accounts used the word "password" for their password.
- FelixDrylock, on 03/16/2009, -0/+59I have Comcast. We have a password? for what?
- slapded, on 03/16/2009, -2/+55my password to my internets is linksys
- Laythor, on 03/16/2009, -0/+39comcast user falling for phishing scams isn't really comcast's fault...
- jsmurfy, on 03/16/2009, -1/+39"She said the company would also urge them to download McAfee Security Suite, software that is made available free to all Comcast users."
I'd rather have my password stolen than install that crapware on my PC - williamc, on 03/16/2009, -2/+33You can view part of it through Google Cache:

- ChiefUCF, on 03/16/2009, -1/+27FTA:
"Kevin Andreyo, an educational technology specialist in Reading, Pa., and a professor at Wilkes University, came across the list Monday on Scribd, a document-sharing Web site....
...'That isn’t just my password for Comcast, it’s my password for everything that is not tied to my credit card'..."
A "technology specialist" and professor. What the hell does he teach? How to make yourself exploitable from a security standpoint? - gader, on 03/16/2009, -0/+23Hey, If someone finds mine let me know. I forgot it about ten years ago and still haven't got through to their ***** tech support.
- inactive, on 03/16/2009, -0/+20Does anyone here on comcast actually use the comcast e-mail account they've been given?
- GoKings, on 03/16/2009, -1/+21Comcast is unbelievable, and a pathetic excuse for an ISP. It's really sad that we have 25 different kinds of Ranch, but people are stuck with only one ISP who knows they don't have to provide good service because of lack of options.
- penguinofspades, on 03/16/2009, -13/+32That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard
in my life. That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage. - inactive, on 03/16/2009, -0/+19That's the password I've got for my luggage. :(
- BeatPunchbeef, on 03/16/2009, -0/+171, 2, 3, 4, 5? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
- m4ngo, on 03/16/2009, -5/+20***** turtles.
- king_aaronj, on 03/16/2009, -1/+14Way to go Comcast. Unfortunately, you have successfully forced smaller ISP's out of business in my town, so you are my only option other than slow DSL service. I hope Verizon gets their FIOS in my area soon. I'll gladly ditch you and your wonderful customer service.
- awggie, on 03/16/2009, -0/+12that's not how monopolies work.
- forbetaorworse, on 03/17/2009, -1/+12why are people digging penguinofspades down? Haven't you guys ever seen spaceballs?!
- ronk, on 03/16/2009, -2/+11You never store plain text passwords in the database. You should store a password hash instead.
- Bangaarang, on 03/16/2009, -0/+9Actually I have to enter a username and password to use my DSL.
- netneutrality, on 03/17/2009, -0/+9And salted, of course.
- soulonfire928, on 03/16/2009, -0/+8I'm honestly kind of stupid...
Are they talking usernames/passwords for Comcast's email or like my password protected Internet connection? - knight816, on 03/16/2009, -0/+8i'd like to but it's been hijacked
- theone12, on 03/17/2009, -1/+9phew, at least the number of compromised passwords was under 9000!
- adc86, on 03/17/2009, -0/+7My family was saying "Comcraptic" up until a few months ago when we dropped them.
- ronk, on 03/17/2009, -0/+7absolutely!
- harryterry, on 03/16/2009, -7/+14***** comcast!
- GoKings, on 03/16/2009, -0/+6No... Comcast is saying it's not their fault. This is a company that ran cable wires across people's driveways and called the job finished. Them saying it isn't their fault isn't really saying anything at all.

- DeadlyNinja, on 03/16/2009, -3/+9Comcast Cares ????
- awggie, on 03/16/2009, -0/+6no.
- Benjigga, on 03/17/2009, -5/+10Just because the information is publically available gives you no right to invade an unsuspecting persons privacy.
- greenspans, on 03/17/2009, -2/+7I can't do much of an analysis because there's very few repeat passwords. Here's top 10.

- enantiodromia, on 03/17/2009, -0/+5actually, this is a great defense in an RIAA suit.
"your honor, my account information was sitting in plain text on the Internet. who knows how it was used?" - greenspans, on 03/17/2009, -1/+6It's a little bit under 4000 passwords after sorting and removing dupes. The list was formatted pretty inconsistently so it was annoying to parse.

http://blog.jimmyr.com/Password_analysis_of_databa ... - Archon810, on 03/16/2009, -1/+6I wouldn't go as far as that but I was about to say something similar. McAfee is the worst piece of antivirus/protection software on the market. I wouldn't install it if they paid me (well, maybe on my boss's computer).
- inactive, on 03/17/2009, -0/+5Only 8,000? Comcast is moving up on the security ladder I see.
- ElliotShoe, on 03/16/2009, -0/+5Read the article, not Comcast's fault -_-... Regardless Comcast blows.
- forbetaorworse, on 03/17/2009, -0/+5of course! POP3 email is the wave of the future!!

Ha! your router belongs to me know Apt 3D! - gyrfalcon, on 03/17/2009, -0/+5Just wait till someone finds out all the 10.x.x.x addresses of the cable modem administrative ports they leave open on their network.
- awggie, on 03/16/2009, -3/+7"I'm honestly kind of stupid..." QFT!
... most honest digg post EVAR! - jaywag, on 03/17/2009, -1/+5I'm finishing my 4th year at Wilkes University as a CS major, and I've never heard of this guy.
EDIT: I just looked him up in the University directory, he's an adjunct instructor teaching online courses for a masters in education. - cowsgonemadd3, on 03/16/2009, -0/+4Who doesn't?
- MarkOfTheDead, on 03/17/2009, -0/+3yeah as my throwaway
