Speaker 3 (00:50):
So great big extend See you know we have one
of those stories of the year, great big extendable ladder
with dudes in the bucket coming into the louver and
cutting a hole in a window during.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The lunch break, dressed like robbers. And then when and.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Then when there must have had a security can point
at the wind. Don't know it was facing the wall.
This is like basic stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
They should have had to work harder for it.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I can only think that the security team there are
Australians right now, they need to upgrade and get the
border patrol team because no one is tough the border patrol.
They need to employ themo No one's coming in. If
you've got dirty shoes, you ain't seen any of those
sunflowers or farm in.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The last twenty eight days.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's an incredible story. I think they've got percially, if
they've got most of them.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Now, yeah, there's still I think there's still two on
the run they're.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Looking at I love how that one of them has
got a family with kids. I quite like that detail.
One of the robbers more dad robbers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But anyway, the big breaking story over the weekend is
this new shocking revelations about the security at the Louver,
or lack thereof.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
According to ABC News, the password to the Lover's video
survey system was simply love.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So you've got rare are some of it actually priceless,
hundreds of millions and the video surveillance password it's loose.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now tricky words as if we're honest. It is a
little bit. Yeah you are the you know.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Once you get three and you're out, would they think
would they think they're second guessing it? Thinking they wouldn't
think it's lou because it's too simple.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Sometimes sometimes simple is smart. Sometimes it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's not it's just how many of us now are
going to put louvers their password.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I got it first.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Anyway, we were talking about this before the show, and
we should said to the team, we should talk about this,
and kin, it just comes, it comes in and she
goes my password. When I was a kid was sport
because I was into sport. I'm all right, okay, yeah,
And then she goes just before leaving the studio, doesn't
she She goes, by the way, it's not that now.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I just told her, shifty englishman my password. He just
told all train all those Bogan dollars at my account.
Damn it. No more backyard for red saunas to me.
Never trusted English one with an old password. Change it
right now.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So I want to talk about obvious and dumb passwords.
When my dad, my dad's only had an email address
for five years, right, saying you really need email address
that make us easier to connect sometimes and stuff like that,
and he was, oh.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
God, it get hacked. I went, they don't don't know me.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Funny, It's just my dad actually has a spreadsheet that
he puts how many logs he gets to overwinter. I went,
there's nothing, you have no offense. Some meant that would
be that interesting to nefarious Russian or Chinese hackers.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
A big government doesn't need. How many is through? He's
got it going back up the last five years. Oh wow,
the confidential log data. Literally the captain's log log. Eight
logs this week. Son, it's going up here on that's
enough done. I'm falling asleep.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Here anyway, through it, he get my I get my
first email from my dad. And by the way, you
must write down the passwords somewhere he went, it's my
email address. The mind add is head of security at
(04:45):
the loop. That's what passwords have you had?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Well, they're not so much simple, but they're all the
same one, so.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Thick yeah, forty one two.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
It's the only way I can remember my password is
to have the same one for all of them. So
it's like a red carpet ride to everything that I am.
So it is the same one, red carpet right, No,
that's not no, give my password out over the air.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm thinking it would be a cool. One is a
red carpet rider.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
But it's like I've said, help yourself, because it's all
the one. You are a scammer's dream pads.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I just have to do one of the work.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
It's not obvious though it's a tricky one.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I reckon, we care to get it in three.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
So you reckon, you have a go.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Brian Adams.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Now, no double champs, auld, double Champ, raining Champ, no undefeatured.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
There's never going to be any more right.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
No, you'll never guess it. But it's the same one
for us.
