    Dude... it all depends on how many ppl get that..

    If you get hacked and is only 10 ppl that actually get a hold of the passwords.. not much...

    but if u get listed on the big pswd lists... it could be hundreds of gigs...

    That is like when ppl ask: How much bandwidth am i gonna use this month???

    who knows!

          It varies a lot, from what I have seen. Some months are worse than others. I am guessing it is often a ton of traffic.

            It is a big problem if you have no protection in place. Any decent protection should be able to disable access shortly after it is posted publicly. Boom, multiple access to same user/pass from different IPs/Counties in a short period of time. Account Terminated.
