This looks like a poorly disguised ad.

The most interesting part to me is that digg still exists in 2023.

This article, or one very similar to it, was also recently posted but with a title that implied "AI" was doing the hacking.

Now that the AI claim has been removed, I guess the article is somewhat less stupid, but it's still pretty damned stupid. Executing an iterative loop that spits out every possible N-digit number does not constitute "hacking my password. "

Hacking has become substantially impaired to the point where social engineering, phishing, bugs, and IRL access are all easier methods.
