    We do not (yet) have the keys Adobe used to encrypt the passwords of 130,324,429 users affected by
    their most recent breach. However, thanks to Adobe choosing symmetric key encryption over hashing,
    selecting ECB mode, and using the same key for every password, combined with a large number of
    known plaintexts and the generosity of users who flat-out gave us their password in their password
    hint, this is not preventing us from presenting you with this list of the top 100 passwords
    selected by Adobe users.
