It's hilarious how all OP did with this post is show everyone how dumb they are.
Seriously, how do you NOT understand the security risk of that?
I remember there was a joke about this back in the day were someone put a joke error message saying: "that password belongs to ninja123, please enter your password"
It'd be funny to have a social website that does that just to see what happens.
It's very tempting to use that (maybe with several random usernames to select from) as the insufficiently strong password error message
It's probably just a little too user hostile though
