Over 40,000 admin portal accounts use ‘admin’ as a password::Security researchers found that IT administrators are using tens of thousands of weak passwords to protect access to portals, leaving the door open to cyberattacks on enterprise networks.
I find their statements a bit on the sweeping side.
Out of more than 1.8 million administrator credentials analyzed, over 40,000 entries were “admin,” showing that the default password is widely accepted by IT administrators.
That’s just over 2 percent. “Widely accepted” in my book is a much larger percentage…

Yikes, imagine not using a password manager on that. That’s some next-level numpad skills.

Do they?
upgrade to, “Admin1!”
I think I can say this now because it’s been 10 years. But in one of my old jobs, I set a new windows administrator password for all assets across the organization. Previously it was 8 characters with a known word with an exclamation point added at the end.
I got the approval to set a new password that would be secure but easy to remember for the IT guys that would be using it on a daily basis. They complained about my first two choices, so I said fuck it and changed it to F0rH315ThEKwi$atzHad3rach!
I could remember it just fine. Still do to this day lol. They complained about a 14 character password before and I was tired of trying to get them on board.
As soon as I left for greener pastures, I heard they changed the password to something easy again. Oh well, not my problem anymore.
That’s amazing! That’s the same password I have on my luggage!
