Using the same digit 4 times is no longer allowed most places, but this chart shows them being pretty popular.

This chart has no sourcing or date associated. Is it old?

Edit: Yes, it is. Here is the excellent source article: http://www.datagenetics.com/blog/september32012/

So it's from 2012, and used historic breach data from years before then.

In other words, this chart is wholly inacurate now.
