Hacker News Reader

That is completely irrelevant to anything I said. No one on hacker news thinks that using 123456 as a password is a good idea.

You said the password was "reused". I think that's a poor framing and was pointing out.

You should read what I wrote again.

I said if the dump was for another service, it was reused. Otherwise the dump was literally for the service that gave them access to the CPR data. In either case it was found in a data dump - that has been confirmed.

From my perspective, I read what you said fine, and you didn't read what I said at all, which was that that I agree with you with the exception that "reuse" is an irrelevant thing to bring up in this situation.
