📢 Cambriolage du #Louvre : punaise... j'ai cru que c'était une blague du #Gorafi... en fait non 🤯

🔥 Quelques points de l'article :

➡️ le serveur de vidéosurveillance est protégé par le mot de passe « LOUVRE »
➡️ usage encore à ce jour de #Windows 2000 et XP
➡️ logiciel développé par #Thales tournant sur un serveur encore sous Windows Server 2003
➡️ certains logiciels de vidéosurveillance et de contrôle des accès sont privés de mises à jour

Je voulais réserver des billets pour le louvre. La création de mon compte est coincée entre "créer un compte : vous avez déjà créé ce compte" et "connectez-vous : ce compte est désactivé".
C'est plus facile d'y rentrer par une nacelle qu'avec un billet officiel dis donc.
