On: 1.4B Clear Text Credentials Discovered in a Single Database

This seems odd:

This database makes finding passwords faster and easier than ever before. As an example searching for “admin,” “administrator” and “root” returned 226,631 passwords of admin users in a few seconds.

Out of 1.4B credentials there are only 226K for admin, administrator and root?

We're talking account passwords for web services mostly, right?

I think that would explain why admin, administrator and root are rarely used as usernames.

If anything that sounds high to me.

What about "sa"?
