fired? seriously?
- sfall 14y agoI don't know if i agree with fired but if you work for the fbi, you probably have some access to non-public information, some people have classified or high clearance levels. If you can't manage to have a password that matches patterns that people warn you to avoid for your facebook let alone your fbi password maybe your supervisor should reevaluate what level of trust you should be given
- tankbot 14y agoSince it's just the FBI then I would make it a retraining issue. And the sysadmin with such pathetic password policy should get some ass chewing. Whoever wrote the code that stored these values in plaintext (if that is indeed the case) should definitely get the boot. If this was the NSA or CIA I would fire them all and shoot the person who coded it. :o)
- danso 14y agoOr whoever is in charge of tech security, yes. I think the whole Wikileaks-State-Dept. episode showed how a global system can be undermined by the weakest link.
- slurgfest 14y agoWould we be surprised if someone got fired from Google or Microsoft for making internal information readily available to the first idiot who tried?
- Evbn 14y agoGoogle and Microsoft build systems that don't allow weak passwords. Security is a process, not a person.
