Do a google search for the member's area URL to 24 inches of pain.
"24inchesofpain.com/members"

http://www.google.com/search?num=100...22&btnG=Search

This should give you a pretty good idea of what is going on... the first password I tried gave me access.

I personally went through all of our sites and deleted or changed a LARGE number of working passwords. I would also recommend ProxyPass to take advantage of this traffic source

we have used proxypass for years.. appearantly it had not killed those user/passes... as it takes 5 simultaneous users to disable... by the time I checked none seemed to work..
