Oh, sorry, I thought the question was his passphrase
Still, 12 symbols is not safe now? That's some serious brute-forcing...

"santabarbara" is one word with 19 million google results. Someone has obviously pre computed the hashes of common passwords, so he is not brute forcing it on the spot. They already exist in attacker's database, The bot just checks if the account already exists in it's pre computed database.
If the password was sanTabarbara it might not have existed in attacker's database.
