Over 87GB of email addresses and passwords exposed in Collection 1 dump

Are you so far up your own arse that you think that the average Joe has to fear that professional hackers will break into his home and steal his fucking passwords written in a book (in a lockbox/safe preferably)?

Unless you are filthy rich and a target or are an enemy of the state in any capacity this will not be the case.

It's shitty advice and exaggeration like yours that cause people to do stupid shit like choosing "123456" and calling it a day instead of doing the sensible thing and having unique passwords for every service and writing them down, it definitely is much safer than a fucking password manager.

Hackers capable of breaking into your home and decipher your random ciphers will also find ways to circumvent your shitty password manager, dumb fuck.

In fact if they were so hellbent on it they would just torture you 'til kingdom come or until you just tell them whatever they need, this is how it is done by the agencies to this day. Way more effective and less of a felony than breaking into stuff and leaving a victim/witness behind.

Asshole.
