…a rare event cascaded across multiple routers in a system wide event, making our backbone unavailable."

The rare event of having dreamed up one password to use for all the servers involved. Which is not so rare.

["SPCHECK" ]:root:St4m|nu5 ["VM HOST" ]:root:St4m|nu5 ["MOTHERLOAD" ]:root:St4m|nu5 ["CHATBOT" ]:root:St4m|nu5 ["backup01-s3073-cab38-ocloud-irv1" :root:St4m|nu5 ["ams2" ]:root:St4m|nu5 ["proxweb" ]:root:St4m|nu5 ["smb01-irv1" ]:root:St4m|nu5 ["kkk" ]:root:TkBNk7TdrSh2Uq42 ["puppet-agent" ]:root:St4m|nu5

Geez–so the KKK admin has the best OPSEC out of the bunch?

Wow. That is a really obvious root password too. Terrible. My gmail password is better.

These dopey hackers need to quit publicizing their exploits. Next time somebody wants to expose something the KKK is doing, these systems won’t be so vulnerable. Wouldn’t it be more useful to tuck those passwords away in a safe place?
