French newspaper
Libération (via
PCGamer) reports that various audits of the museum’s security systems have revealed glaring and obvious issues.
One such audit carried out in 2014 by France’s national cybersecurity agency showed that, indeed,
the Louvre’s video surveillance system password was “Louvre.”
Subsequent audits found “serious shortcomings” in the museum’s systems, notably including easy access to rooftops during periods of construction and
security software that was more than two decades old, and now unsupported by its developer.
Anyone who’s had to work in an office that still has one Windows 98 machine running the ancient inventory system might be able to sympathize.
Oh dear. It may not have had anything to do with the jewel robbery, but audits of the Paris museum's security system have revealed glaring issues that go back years.
