Clearly a dictionnary attack.  Very likely the popular "rockyou" wordlist that 
every budding hacker is taught to use.
The wordlist contains the passwords from the many data leaks over the years and 
it's the very first list they will usually try on a target.

# zcat /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt.gz | wc -l
