Weird. The file was cracked in May 2024, while the password had appeared in a database leak which was added in HIBP (and thus pretty much public) back in October 2017.

Unsure why it took the community so long to crack the file.

the salt for the passwords in the bitly breach isn't known, and the few plaintexts available were lost to time

The cracking basically started the moment youtubers presented it as 'a mystery'.
