The asterisks are wildcards.

At one point, I found a large collection of accounts with "IamQ" in the name. They all had passwords starting like this.

Last week, I was poking around the ADL accounts and discovered an operative for the ADL also uses this format.

Is there something I'm missing? Like is that an acronym... easy to type on a foreign keyboard? Is there any reason that this could be a coincidence or a reference I'm not getting? Or is this person likely tied to the IamQ accounts?

Also... someone asked me if I could find an example of the exposed ADL accounts, but that person has since disappeared. Anyone want them for a minute before I dump them?

Looks like they were trying to do an injection but of what I have no idea. A quick search turns up nothing. Probably just using the same credentials that meet various requirements. Perhaps a bot?

I think they are using the sequence so that a large group of people can manage any account, should it be needed.

The person in question, the ADL operative, has the last name "Wilson." I guess I can check to see if that is a bot, or not.

Many people use password prefixes, something that's easy to remember followed by something random. I'd suggest all of those accounts might be operated by the same person. There's really no other reason for it. If it was a bot it would use all random characters, if it was a shared account the full password would still need to be communicated regardless.

Now that I'm looking, there seem to be a few users, here and there, in many governments using the same password prefix.

For example...

Anyone curious enough to call and ask Rose Braden.
