Gigantic. I bet that access to plaintext of slashdot passwords could
get one into lots of bank accounts.
Don't have access to slashdot innards? Set up a web site that offers
some free deal that isn't *too* good to be true. Maybe make it
financial-ish. Require a sign up. Collect user names and passwords.
Find out which ones open doors to banks, brokerage accounts, etc.
Reusing passwords is dangerous. And nearly everyone does it.
