The Louvre got hacked because of weak passwords. Let that sink in. If the world’s most famous fortress of art can be undone by the likes of “password123,” maybe it’s time to rethink yours too... 🔐
Nuclear codes, voicemail hacks and businesses going bust. These are some of the biggest password blunders | CNN
A 2014 security report resurfaced this week showing that the password for the server managing the CCTV network at the Louvre was simply “LOUVRE.” Here are some examples of technological mishaps and infamous faux pas(swords).

Hey @octranspo.com, if you want more people to actually use transit, maybe stop cramming us in like sardines every morning. This is my Nepean #11 - miserable, unsafe, and totally avoidable. Hire more drivers. Get more buses. ASAP.

No, we need universal basic income. AI is trained on our data. IT'S OUR CAPITAL. Treat us like shareholders. Give us our monthly dividends. Is it standard for stockholders to be paid in jobs? I want my cut for putting up the capital. We all deserve our cut.

It is financial insecurity that underlies so much poor mental and physical health. The constant stress of just trying to survive takes its toll. Universal Basic Income would greatly improve our health and lead to substantial savings in our healthcare costs by providing a stable financial foundation.
