filmmaker uses ai to visualize thousands of leaked passwords

UK filmmaker Daniel McKee has created a unique film called “Password123” as a music video for London-based musician HOWE, and if you look carefully, you might see one of your online passwords featured.

McKee’s film visualizes real passwords leaked on the dark web from some of the most severe data breaches of the past decade. Each password was then run through the text-to-image ai DALL-E 2.

“Password123” offers a rare glimpse into user habits and highlights keyboard patterns such as “QWERTY” to the names of loved ones, pets, memorable dates, sports teams, and places.

Daniel handpicked passwords from an enormous 32GB file of 847,223,403 entries. To protect user privacy, names, addresses, and emails have been edited.

“We share these secret phrases with computers daily, and they occupy a special place in our minds. I wanted to see how an AI would reveal them as images,” explained Daniel.

McKee’s film serves as an important reminder of the importance of strong passwords in an age when data breaches are becoming increasingly common. To check if your information has been compromised in a past data breach, check out the helpful haveibeenpwned.com website.

Cyberdrone, a leading UAV display company based in Dubai, put on a breathtaking drone light show on Monday to honor two significant football milestones: AC Milan’s 125th anniversary and the one-year anniversary of Casa Milan Dubai.

The spectacle involved 1,000 drones working in perfect harmony to project AC Milan’s iconic imagery against the city’s night sky. Highlights included the UAVs synchronizing to form the club’s iconic crest, the signature red and black jersey, and a special emblem marking its 125th year. The intricate performance demanded meticulous planning, not just in terms of choreography, but also in dealing with the necessary permits and logistics.
