Louvre’s Surveillance System Password At Time Of Jewel Theft Was Dumber Than You Can Imagine
HuffPost
A museum employee with knowledge of the system revealed the terrible password.
This makes a password like “1234” look genius.
An employee of the Louvre in Paris, France, has revealed the password of the museum’s surveillance system at the time of the jewelry heist last month, and it’s pretty bad.
The password was “Louvre,” a staffer with knowledge of the system told ABC News Wednesday.
Yup, you read that right: “Louvre.”
The French outlet Libération first reported on the password, citing confidential documents. The outlet claims the password was initially unearthed by France’s National Cybersecurity Agency during an audit in 2014. And we suppose no one bothered to update it since then with something with more characters, numbers and symbols, like “v0ulez-v0u$ c0ucher @vec m0i.”
