Cam's twitter was hacked because his password was "Camnewton1"

admin/password is still the most used login/password all over the world,even for critical servers.

 

i took an ethical hacking class when i was in college and our instructor was a professional penetration tester/white hat hacker.  he confirmed this concept and told some other stories about financial institution network security (his area of expertise) that were simultaneously hilarious and terrifying.

 

one time he was actually having a degree of difficulty with a bank that had hired him to do a pen test.  their practices were tight and they didn't make the typical dumb mistakes.  so he grabbed a bunch of flash drives, tossed a keylogging trojan on them, and just tossed them in the parking lot late at night when nobody was around.

 

the next day something like 7 or 8 out of 10 had phoned home.  tellers and other employees were just picking them up, shrugging their shoulders, and plugging them into their work computers.

You know which phrase in that post is going to get the most attention, right? :lol:
