One, two, three, four is all you need to pass that door
Rolling hot off the heels of World Password Day , every May 2 we hacks generally receive hundreds of emails from PR companies repping their respective infosec pros, all espousing their expert opinions on how to create an"iron-clad" or"military-grade" password, or something equally cringey.
However, according to a Xeet from the UK Daily Mail's political editor, Jason Groves, journalists attending the headquarters of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre on Thursday were told some information that appeared to fly in the face of conventional password hygiene.
Sounding way too funny to be true, we caught up with Groves who confirmed to us that the Xeet wasn't a joke as it initially seemed at first glance. Reporters were told the code on arrival and then the head of events blasted it out loud from a stage later on.
