Did someone use 2Girls1Cup as their password?

from here and here (source article)

Look, I know passwords are a big deal in security, I get it, but that statement, even with the context added:

“Passwords are one of the worst things on the internet,” Mark Risher, Google’s senior director for account security, identity, and abuse told The Verge. Though they’re essential for security and to help people log in to many apps and websites, “they’re one of the primary, if not the primary, ways that people actually end up getting compromised.”

That's  just not right. There is an ocean of malware out there. You can get it just by viewing a page with a malicious ad on it (something someone who works for the largest ad company on Earth should know all too well), or by clicking a link, or through email, or by any number of other means. There are many different kinds of compromise that people face and account compromise is just one small piece of the pie. The apparent lack of perspective in that quote is amazing.
