I've always wondered how much bias there is towards bad passwords because many of the sites that are leaked can often also be sites that nobody really cares too much about their security for too much anyway. I certainly know there's a few things I signed up for that the password is simplistic on because I don't give a single fuck about the account. A one/two time thing that won't have any personal information on it gets the quickest thing I can type.
It was the office of personnel management, so not just the CIA, but every agency in which you could need a clearance. Everything from Department of Energy to the NSA, From a low level army grunt moving boxes to high level weapons builders and guys doing IT for contractors. Anyone who had submitted an SF86 up to that point had every place they've lived, every family member, every job, details about education, drug use, mental health and alcohol abuse, debt, etc basically handed over.
Best part is, OPM offered two years of identity theft protection as a "oopsywoopsy we fwucked up biiiiiiig time sowwy"
You would be shocked at the passwords people want to use for things like business email accounts, billing accounts which hold their card details, etc. There's a subset of people who absolutely will not put any effort forth for security and just want to use the exact same password they've been using since they got their AOL account in 1998 on every single thing they have to sign in to.
