A new report has revealed a cybersecurity disaster at the Louvre following the museum's heist. According to secret documents obtained by the newspaper 'Libération', the password for the museum's surveillance camera system, which houses the world's most valuable art pieces, was extremely simple: 'LOUVRE'. The shock didn't end there; it was also discovered that the password for another system was 'THALES', the name of the technology company that developed the software. It is not yet clear whether these 'naive passwords' facilitated the heist that occurred on October 18th and resulted in the theft of royal jewels worth $102 million, but at the very least, it made the museum a laughing stock in the cybersecurity world, where one person wrote: 'If you ever feel like you're not good at your job, just remember that the Louvre's camera password was louvre'. The passwords were not the only problem; the museum was also running on outdated versions of the 'Windows' operating system, which experts considered 'like leaving your house door wide open'.
