Could you elaborate on how your password was used in the subject line or title?

In my daily spam folder there was an email from New Zealand. In the subject line was my password for about 3 sites; password1234. (The real one is somewhat better.)
I just checked it on the site listed above and it scored 37.

It's a typo for "owned" that was in a game a long time ago and became a new word in the geekosphere.
