Malware Analysis & Reports www.reddit.com

Comparing the password strength of 5 hacking forum users that were compromised with info-stealers - [Hackforums.net](http://hackforums.net/), [Raidforums.com](http://raidforums.com/), [Breached.to](http://breached.to/), [Genesis.market](http://genesis.market/), and [Exploit.in](http://exploit.in/)

Among the 5 forums, Breached users had the strongest passwords, while Hackforums had the weakest. It's noteworthy that Breached users' password strength surpassed not only the other forums but also the average password strength in the banking industry and the United States as a whole.

If you think it's interesting I can do other comparisons between sites / industries …
