Louvre’s Surveillance System Password At Time Of Jewel Theft Was Dumber Than You Can Imagine

This makes a password like "1234" look genius.

An employee of the Louvre in Paris, France, has revealed the password of the museum`s surveillance system at the time of the jewelry heist last month, and it`s pretty bad.

The password was "Louvre," a staffer with knowledge of the system told ABC News Wednesday.

Yup, you read that right: "Louvre."

The French outlet Libération first reported on the password, citing confidential documents. The outlet claims the password was initially unearthed by France`s National Cybersecurity Agency during an audit in 2014. And we suppose no one bothered to update it since then with something with more characters, numbers and symbols, like "v0ulez-v0u$ c0ucher @vec m0i."

It should be noted that it is unclear if the password ever came into play during last month`s heist - in which thieves stole $102 million in Napoleonic jewels in minutes and while tourists were inside by using a basket lift, forcing open a window and going hog wild in the museum`s Apollo Gallery.

But the fun tidbit of information comes amid concerns surrounding the famed institution`s security, with The Associated Press reporting at the time of the cartoonishly executed robbery that Louvre employees were complaining of worker and security understaffing. Paris police have even acknowledged that the security at the Louvre was pretty outdated.

During testimony before a French Senate committee last month, Laurence des Cars, the president and director of the Louvre, said that the only camera installed outside the Apollo Gallery did not capture footage of the window where the thieves broke in and exited, per ABC News. Des Cars said the museum`s perimeter security was weak "due to underinvestment."

He added that he was "appalled" by the museum`s security when he took the role in 2021, and that it has been one of his "top priorities."
