from Grep News

Napoleon’s crown jewels were swiped from the Louvre in under eight minutes because the museum’s cybersecurity was stuck in the early 2000s—with passwords like "LOUVRE" and ignored warnings for nearly a decade.

This wasn’t a slick heist; it was the ultimate fail of institutional negligence.
