Surprisingly "secret" isn't among them - it used to be in the top 5.
That list displays a cultural bias. I wonder what the top 5 Chinese
speaking user passwords are - (dump that list into Google translate).
Anyway, if one could compromise users computers, there would be little
reason to stick to yahoo/aol. You'd get what we have had in the past,
spam coming via Outlook. Usually I have suggested a virus scan and it
has found nothing.
Out on the web there are loads of adverts/video clips for breaking in to
yahoo accounts. Maybe it is weak, maybe they are all fraudulent.
