This weekend, the hactivist group Anonymous broke into mybart.org (BART's site for contests and other incentives to ride BART). Along with changing text and images on the site, the group managed to dump a portion of the mySQL database containing all the user information.

Anonymous claims what the group did could be done easily by an eight year old with a web connection.

Someone in Austria posted the database dump. The first entry is the development team's login for the site.

The password is: admin123

Now thats bad. That password shows up on the quicky list for brute attacks all the time. They should have known better

At least it wasn't password, although it was almost as bad!

They probably tried to use "BART" as the password first, but it was too short.

Thank goodness my password is "admin1234" because the bad guys would never figure that one out unless I had posted it somewhere public.
