I was at a company’s premises today – I won’t say where it is, or what I was doing there but I happened upon seeing this stuck to a computer screen:

This company are simply asking for trouble.  While the URL may not be obvious to the average punter, anyone with half a tech-brain would probably be able to work it out.  And the first password they would try would be – password.  This company’s website has, according to various online estimators, around 350 unique visitors per day.  It’s a popular website – and the CMS has no security.

Come on.  When choosing passwords, please don’t choose ‘password’.
