My favourite thing about this is how those 70 users must have been feeling quite smug and superior about how they chose their password, without realising 69 others had done exactly the same thing.
It's like the people who think they're displaying their above-average understanding of probability by choosing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 for their lottery numbers. It will be a very happy then a very sad day for a lot of people if those numbers ever hit!
A little anecdote about feeling smug and superior: During that facebook meme last week where everyone was posting numbers and replying with a comment about whichever friend sent them said number, a friend posted the sequence. I called it out for what it was, and he replies "I figured of all people it'd be you who would catch that".
I felt pretty good after that. Why I can't tell you but I did.
