Re:French Central Bank password was 123456 (really) by mddw on Monday October 01, 2012 @01:06PM (#4598091)
French here. The man behind this "hacking" was interviewed here : http://www.pcinpact.com/news/74060-exclusif-pcinpact-intervi...

The 123456 pass was for a phone service dedicated to the Banque de France itinerant techies.

The "hacker", when asked a password, tried randomly 123456. He gained access to complex options (each being quite technical.) He tried one randomly, it triggered a kind of panic mode.

He only discovered it was a Banque de France telephone number when arrested by the police, four years ago.
