I worked for a large manufacturing company that got its entire network ransomwared because everybody used the password 12345.
honestly based. everyone should have insecure passwords when working for a corporation. you should also message your local hacker group that the corporation is vulnerable
Sounds more like everyone used [realname][number] as their password because IT decided that changing your password every couple months is the most “secure”. Even though it’s not and causes [realname][number] passwords in the first place.
Imagine if the password was “Password_1” the entire time.
Me: “I wish we had SSO and 2FA.”
Corporate IT: “We have SSO and 2FA at home.”
The SSO and 2FA at home: everybody logs in with the same username and password, and it doesn’t set cookies so you have to do it constantly
lol
IT Staff: “Hey this person is leaving should we do knowledge transfer?”
People running things: “Naw IT is a waste of money and does nothing. Why would we want to waste more money to pay someone to explain how the system works?”
This conversation has happened a non zero amount of times in my life.
I think it’s actually the most common sentiment among those who decide such things. It’s only the commitment of the IT people to doing decent work that keeps those things from falling apart.
My favorite was that “IT is a waste of money because it doesn’t make any SALES” at a retail chain. Never mind who was maintaining the point of sale software, the company’s wholesale and retail e-commerce websites, the corp office inventory databases and integrations from the remote POSes, etc.
Naw, it’s not a team effort in the slightest. Just shit on anyone who doesn’t work on commission.
Fucking boomer petty tyrants.
