If "Nurgsm" was a typo for "Ngram," the paper might refer to research on Probabilistic Context-Free Grammars (PCFG) or Markov Chains in password cracking. Go to Have I Been Pwned (HIBP)

Immediately stop using any password that is short, simple, or resembles a dictionary word (including proper nouns like Nurgle). If you used "nurgsm" on one site, you almost certainly used a variant elsewhere. Stop that habit now.

This is a notable research paper in the field of usable security and password cracking.
