Comment on Someone was breaking into Orange Spain RIPE account (and break their /12)parent

What "reform" do you think would help?

The problem here appears to be that the victim didn't do even a halfway decent job of protecting their RIPE account.

RIPE offers TOTP. TOTP is hardly the best possible security, because it can be phished, but assuming the people using it are competent (and why are your networking team incompetent?) that ought to be adequate. It seems as though Orange didn't bother to enable TOTP and indeed didn't even set a decent password.
