Have you ever thought, "Why are enemy characters in games so lax with security?" Passwords like "1234" or keys just left lying around... I used to laugh and think, "Such dangerous situations would never happen in real life!" 💭
But recently, I heard a pretty surprising story. It turns out the password for the surveillance cameras at France's Louvre Museum was actually 'Louvre' 😳✨
Wait, Seriously? The Louvre's Super Important Surveillance...
The Louvre Museum is supposed to be one of the most secure places in the world, right? So hearing that their password was incredibly simple makes you wonder what's going on... 💡
Apparently, this came to light from investigation reports after a robbery incident. This means that even top-tier facilities can sometimes have surprisingly lax password management 📌
So Maybe NPCs' Weak Security Is Actually "Realistic"?
Coming back to games, I'm starting to think that "trash-level" security might not be so unrealistic after all 🎀
- Passwords written down somewhere
- Seem meaningful but are actually too simple
- Keys left carelessly around
Turns out these things actually happen quite often in the real world too. Especially in busy places or in daily life where people might cut corners a bit... maybe it's not so surprising after all 💭
Conclusion
What we can learn from this story is that "perfect security is surprisingly difficult" and "we can't really laugh at weak security in games" 😆
Somehow, knowing these real behind-the-scenes stories makes the game world look a bit different, doesn't it? 🍓
Maybe paying attention to real-world security situations could even enhance how we enjoy games...? That's what I thought ✨

How can security be worse than the Louvre Museum!?
リリー
Former IT manager here, but most IT infrastructure uses passwords like 'password123'.
ジョージ
Sounds like something straight out of a Deus Ex hacker scenario.
ベン
Reminds me of the conversation between the insurance guy and security guard in Ocean's 8.

Used to work at a local bank, and the door code was the building's address.
ハンナ
I think '12345' is the most common one, looking at lists it's mostly like that.

Nowadays many passwords require uppercase, symbols, and numbers, but the article didn't distinguish that.

Reuters had strong passwords for single logins before paywalls, but even if hacked, they'd just read articles so no real harm.
サム
Well, try 'guest' next time then.
ジャック
'2014' is important info but missing from the headline, and it doesn't say if it's still like that now.

Working in IT, I'm actually impressed it had uppercase letters, unless it was a typo.

Rumor has it Trump's Twitter password in 2016 was 'Trump2024'.

There's an experiment where if you drop USB drives in government or contractor parking lots, if they have logos people will usually plug them in.
レオ
French security is like the Maginot Line - once it's breached, they just give up I guess.
エイダン
The new password is probably something like 'Louvre1'.
ロバート
At my old workplace, the important server password was 'password', and when I said to change it, they changed it to 'password1'.
ハンナ
Later the old IT guy quit, and a new guy changed it to 'Password1!' but an incident happened within weeks.
リリー
Eventually serious IT came and switched to the 'correct horse battery staple' method, so I felt relieved.
