Syrian president’s password was 12345
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must have been busy on Change Your Password Day, because the hacker bees at Anonymous easily broke into his emails this week.
The group released hundreds of his office's emails, including some that prepped him for his interview with Barbara Walters.
You'd think someone of his caliber would have been told to pick a better password for his emails than \"12345.\" His password passivity was echoed by other staffers, as \"12345\" was associated with several of the 78 inboxes in Asssad's office that Anonymous broke into.
Do you think Anonymous hacking is good?
