The Luxembourg Press reported that the unexpected happened. A hacker got hold of about 48,000 medical files of Luxembourg athletes or aspiring athletes set up for a certification.
Minister Bildgen said at a press conference that hackers are becoming more and more sophisticated. In this case the inventiveness of the hacker went to new heights:
One of the professionals in a Ministry had put his user name and password on a memo stick glued to his computer screen, in order to remember both. To blame are of course Luxembourg Government regulations that make those access codes too convoluted to remember them easily. In this case I learnt from generally untrustworthy sources that the user name was "alibaba" and the password was "letmein". Minister Schneider (no the other one) hence surmised that the hacker probably took a picture of the memo with his Android, no it wasn’t an iPhone (so it wasn’t me) and while watching over his left shoulder, snatched the picture thus smuggling it out of the premises, unbeknownst to the people there, who were not told by the hacker that he had obtained a publicly available official secret.
The new password will be from now on: “Sesame”
Hey, Andy Schleck, do you know if Contador was in Luxembourg these days and does he have an Android?
