This database is fairly interesting. 73727 people in it.<p>The ratio of females to males is about 1.6<p>Average age is 27<p>Top ten email address domains:<p><pre><code> yahoo.com (24269 addresses) gmail.com (17805 addresses) hotmail.com (7518 addresses) aol.com (7129 addresses) comcast.net (1639 addresses) live.com (1177 addresses) msn.com (1079 addresses) sbcglobal.net (992 addresses) ymail.com (781 addresses) aim.com (698 addresses) </code></pre> There's a lot more I want to graph and look at though. I especially want to see how different demographics pick different email providers. That and getting a map for zip-codes and making a heatmap of the applicants' locations then subtracting that from a population density map.

I am happy about each and every database leak that makes people aware about the issues with data-mongering. As long as I am not in one of them. Then it feels really really bad (my credentials were "stolen" (ie copied) in a customer database of a hardware shop, since then I get personalised spam and the store still has not notified the thousands of customers whose details are out there).

HB Gary... Sony... Fox/X-Factor... others/more to come...<p>Prediction: Web security products/services will be <i>the</i> hot ticket for the rest of 2011-2012.
