Leaked source who usually crack password from dumped sources, dosen’t have a plan of doing so due to it’s encryption strength. Passwords were hashed with the Bcrypt hashing algorithm, with 10 rounds of rekeying. For more details on Bcrypt.

“It would be a waste of resources for us to crack them, so we typically don’t bother,” a LeakedSource spokesperson told Bleeping Computer via email. “A determined hacker who wants to crack one person’s hash may still be able to.”
