The following screenshot is from a broadcast on TVP (Polish television).
Spot anything interesting?
No?
Let’s take a closer look..
If you haven’t already guessed, Hasło is the Polish for “Password”.
As we have explained before, if a TV crew is visting your office it may be sensible to remove any passwords which could appear in the background.
In fact, maybe it makes sense not to have these passwords on show regardless of whether someone is pointing a video camera around the place or not.
Just saying..
Hat-tip: @mikko.
If the passwords are changed with any regularity (ie it will be different by the time the news program airs) then there would be no compromise and no need to hide anything
And which world are YOU living in?
Of course the password has been changes. What was 4FGvn1qGY is now 5FGvn1qGY… or possibly 6FGvn1qGY, 7FGvn1qGY, or even 8FGvn1qGY.
This person should have been talked to way before the film crew arrived. Huge no-no.
Oopsie!
Then password requirements should not be so strict so as to require writing them down in order to remember them. It kinda defeats the purpose…
In the words of Homer Simpson "D'oh" who didn't go to the security briefing then
It is possible but unlikely that the password on the white board is written using a simple encryption technique that only authorised employees know.
Good thinking, but I highly doubt it!
Well it is encrypted in polish . . . Kurva!
Hah. I even worry about neighbors looking at my whiteboard through binoculars sometimes.
HaHa. But what else do you write on your whiteboard, if not your passwords! Haha.
