Coming in behind SolarWinds in the No. 2 spot was, well, everyone. Literally, Dashlane named Combination of Many Breaches, or COMB, as this year’s second-worst password offender. That’s because 3 billion emails and passwords that had been stolen in the past from a range of services like Netflix and LinkedIn were all posted on a hacking forum.
