Comment on Hacked Texan Water Infrastructure Had a 3 Character Password

Comments

many many years ago, when modems were king, there was a breach similar to the 3 character password, UCB... well, the rest is history. I dont remember the details precisely, probably still can be found on some news or mailing list archives.

This may well be the vaguest allusion to a historical event I've ever seen.

Not exactly the vaguest, probably -- a couple of years ago, the pants allusion, you know. Pretty funny & caused quite the stir in the right circles (HTE, etc.).

I don't understand what you mean but your opacity reminds me of a similar event, which you may recall.

For those of us too young to pick up the reference, care to be slightly less opaque?
