I ran a cracking forum for a few months and found similar stats. Even in a community whose members should know better. I modded the vBulletin software to store passwords in plaintext. Roughly fifty percent of members registered with an e-mail address that was also registered with Paypal. Of those who had, roughly 75% of them had matching passwords for both the forum and Paypal.
