The 2013 Verizon Breach Report found that 76% of intrusions exploited weak or stolen credentials. The problem is apparent – password reuse. It’s been there for a long time and as sad as it is, it seems that we’re not moving away from passwords anytime soon. The Exploit.in data breach is one of the prime examples of this problem in the wild.
The Exploit.in data breach does not originate from one particular website – rather, it is a compilation of data breaches. This is why the data set is so large – with duplicates the data set contains over 800 million records split across 111 files.
The data format is pretty simple: the breach data contains email addresses and passwords separated by a colon. The Exploit.in data breach does not utilize any kind of hashing algorithm – all passwords appear to be in plain text making the problem even worse: such data is very likely to be exploited in “credential stuffing” attacks. Such an attack is used to gain unauthorized access to user accounts through automated login requests directed at a web application. Credential stuffing is often considered one of the biggest threats aimed at web applications today due to the volume of credentials already available in the wild and also due to the fact that it can be so easily automated. Here’s a diagram depicting such an attack:
In its essence, credential stuffing is an attack where attackers use mass log in attempts to verify the validity of stolen credential lists.
As there are more than 800 million records in this data set, naturally there are hundreds of email domains used by the people affected by this data leak. Top 500 email domains used on Exploit.in can be seen below:

We can see that:
These three numbers combined consume 14.30244154907251% of the entire user base, meaning that the numbers 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 would consume the rest – 85.69755845092749% of the entire user base.
We can take a look at the password length too:
If we would take a look at interesting lengthy passwords, we would see that some of the passwords include game titles (for example “Afterlight”, “Age of Reckoning”, “Allied Assault”, “Armored Fury”, “Bad Company 2”, “Black Ops”, “Black Ops 2”, “Counter-Strike: Condition Zero” etc.) and even BCrypt hashes. The passwords as game titles often also include 20 or more characters of what it seems like some sort of serial keys.
All numeric passwords combined consume 22.519987133943054% of the entire user base – numeric passwords have been chosen by 180,617,689 users while alphabetical passwords were chosen by 566,063,781 users – they would consume 70.57863012028217% of the entire user base. If we deduct those from the total records, we can see that there were 6.90138274577478% users in the data breach who did not choose passwords that began with numbers or letters – that would be just over 55,351,355 users – the exact number would be 55,351,355.00000004.
Being one of the largest data breach compilations ever, the Exploit.in data breach puts very many people at risk. Since it is speculated that the list has been used for attacks known as “credential stuffing”, it should be a very clear indication for people to not reuse passwords and to change their passwords frequently.
