As a prospective leaker, if your password is any of the ones listed below, congratulations! (“123456” leads with 17%.)

Your password is in the top 50% of 10 million passwords analyzed by Keeper in 2016.

Extremely plausible evil hackers “discovered” your login and then “cracked” your password.

No longer a “leak,” but a theft and the thief isn’t you. (How’s that for protecting leakers?)

You must follow the leaking instructions at: https://theintercept.com/leak/, but leak only your login, password and network URL.

No guarantees that The Intercept will take the initiative but they aren’t the only game in town.
