So from this one, Connor Jones of the Register, 123456 password linked to Denmark data breach affecting 8.8 million people.

A person claiming responsibility for the breach of Denmark's Central Register of Persons, or CPR, says they gained access to an IT company's account protected by the password 123456.

Awesome.

It did not name Funim-based Pays APS as the company in question, but managing director Sophie Lawrenson confirmed on October 9th that its access had been exploited.

So there's a little bit more to this if you want to see it.

Now, do I believe that the person who took it will not sell the data? Don't know.

Hard to say.

I guess we'll find out.

But password 123456, an IT company uses this password on an administrator account, allegedly, reportedly, so it says.

But I would not doubt it because, again, nobody's hacking in anybody.

Human error continues to be number one problem.

And how long have we been talking about this? Dear God, I've been retired now from the FBI for seven years, coming up on my seventh year anniversary.

We're talking about bad password management for at least 15 years prior to that, if not more so.

So we're looking on over two decades of this problem, and it still continues to be an issue.

Craziness, people, craziness.
