We do not (yet) have the keys Adobe used to encrypt the passwords of 130,324,429 users affected by their most recent breach. However, thanks to Adobe's selection of ECB mode and using the same key for every password, combined with a number of known plaintexts and the generosity of users who flat-out gave us their password in their password hint, this is not preventing us from presenting you with this list of the top 100 passwords selected by Adobe users.
While we are fairly confident in the accuracy of this list, we have no way to actually verify it right now. We don't have the keys, and Adobe is not letting any of the affected accounts log in until the owners reset their passwords. So, it is possible there is an error or two in here. Caveat emptor and such.
