A case study in why credentials are revoked before firings.
Fucking assholes. All that does it fuck over everyone that works with them.
“Eh, they can recover from yesterday,” he said, referring to daily database backups.
But did they recover from backups? Don’t leave the most juicy intrigue out of the story.
No one ever tested the backups so they don’t know if they will work!
And why couldn’t they have done that to the student loans system?
Like JFC, they could have instantly made themselves immune from trial-by-jury anywhere in America by doing that one tiny thing.
Back in 2015, the brothers pled guilty in Virginia to a scheme involving wire fraud and computers. Muneeb was sentenced to three years in prison, while Sohaib got two.
I’m not gonna say there were signs that these two weren’t the most law abiding of citizens to begin with, buuuuut…
wire fraud
Relatives of El Nasir?
Oh I’m sure the government loved taking them, since >Half of all Politicians are corrupt fraudsters.

Why were they storing passwords in plaintext in the databases?!
Because like all critical infrastructure it was setup by somebody’s kid on work experience
Or some poor guy who is setting it up, because it is a one off and just get it done project, that metastasizes into a fucking mess.
First time reading about government systems, eh?
Why not? National Safety Department of Slovak Republic (Narodny Bezpecnostny Urad) had password NBUSK123… just government things
No, that was a bit different.
login: nbusr
password: nbusr123The K in password doesnt match Republic in the name.
Totally secure.
It’s like leaving your car door unlocked in a bad neighborhood so your window doesn’t get smashed for the $.36 in the center console. Attacker might take the prize and go without showing that everything around it is just as poorly-built.
Well how else would they help the users if they ever forgot their passwords? Duh.

Probably for the same reasons web browsers store them in plain text: They don‘t care.
the same reasons web browsers store them in plain text
Why one web browser stores them in plain text. Fucking Edge.
Who knows about the others, but I can pretty much guarantee you that Librewolf, for example, isn’t doing that shit.
If you can autofill passwords without authenticating in some way, they are probably either stored in plaintext, or encrypted with a key that is stored in plaintext. Cause, like, how is it supposed to magically encrypt it.
That’s how computers work, dummy. Magic.
I believe Firefox (and forks) only encrypt if you have set a master password.
In a row?!
Try not to delete any databases on your way to the parking lot!
Oops! All Databases
“I can’t go out for a pack of smokes without running into 9 databases that you dropped!”
But I explicitly stated in the
CLAUDE.mdemployee guidelines to not delete production databases!
Only a living wage can prevent data dumps.
Upper management can’t even see it…yet.
Redundant twin brothers to handle the redundant twin backups.
