No, seriously. It seems the more we learn about the recent heist at the Louvre, the less surprising it seems that the thieves pulled it off. The latest revelation: The museum didn’t follow any best practices for good passwords with its security system.
According to the French newspaper Libération, the password for the Louvre’s video surveillance system was the museum’s name. That’s it, just “Louvre.” It’s almost as bad as using “123456.” The Internet, of course, is having a field day with the jokes.
Just in case you needed another reminder of how important good passwords are, this is it.
