![A comma and semicolon per password foils the parsing of most data breach releases. [1029x1050 - 184KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/7xloPu.jpg){kind=link}
It would be pretty trivial to find that extra comma, remove it from the CSV, and then process the CSV like normal.
Which would break your password and it wouldn't work thereby doing the thing the author of that image is trying to accomplish.
As I said, the hacker could just fix the password field so that it showed up as a single field rather than as two or more fields.
Like, by putting quotation marks around that field. I don't know, depends on what the hacker is using the read the CSV. If it's just a python script, it's not hard to add in some extra functionality like that.
Right, they could escape the comma. I'm sure the people who leak passwords have dealt with that kind of thing before.
No definitely not this is legit totally new ever news even
