Haha, this guy is probably using 'password123' as his own admin password. Dictionary attack all the way!

Phishing attacks rely more on tricking users rather than cracking passwords, so I still think dictionary attacks are the biggest threat here.

I agree with Vallie, weak passwords make it easier for attackers to guess using a dictionary.
