There was a time when the password was something I did not pay much attention. Visitors simply did not have much knowledge about half what they were driving and were not aware of the importance of a hard to guess password. However, this does not happen today, less serious if we talk about large companies and organizations. Really? It seems that it is not, at least in all cases.
It turns out that a French citizen almost inadvertently broke the security of the Central Bank of France in the most absurd possible. This man tried to access a website where data are collected from people who have had problems in paying their loans, basically a file of defaulters.
When encountering a typical login screen asking you to enter a password. At this point not think of anything else to write the typical '123456 ', probably thinking it would not work because how to use a bank a password easy to guess?
The surprise was that this man was that the password was correct and could be accessed without problems. The second surprise is that he has been accused of hacking the central bank.
One wonders what other similar organizations have security systems so low that even the passwords are safe.
