Oops, on Hawaii Password Pasted to Monitor

When it rains, it pours!

This item has been found all over the Internet this week, Photo shows password stuck to screen at Hawaii’s emergency management office.

When you have a very public goof, this being the errant warning message that there was a missile inbound for the islands, people start digging deeper to see what they can find. Being under the microscope is never fun and I would not be surprised if some reporters start doing more digging on the status and capabilities of the state's emergency management program.
