How to get hacked

I don't know if this story will be found to be accurate, but the (right wing) Boston Herald reports: (updated link) that Hawaii was prepared for a possible missile attack last summer and had a big article about it, including photos of the personnel, that included their computers with the pass word on post-it notes in the background.

Gateway pundit has the screen captures.

But it's not like they made the password hard to guess:

The system password is “Password Warningpoint2”.

of course, this photo was from July 2017, so as one comment remarked, maybe it was changed since then, but one does wonder if  it was incompetence, or if there was a hack.
