Life Imitates “Spaceballs” – Syrian President’s Password Was 12345

Anonymous Hacks Syrian President; His Password Was 12345:

It seems al-Assad recently became the target of web hactivist group Anonymous; the group managed to successfully hack into his email account this week. That said, we imagine the job was something of a bore for Anonymous, which just last week revealed that it had managed to eavesdrop on a phone call between Scotland Yard and the FBI. After all, it can’t have taken much hacking prowess to access an account protected with the world’s second weakest password: 12345. To make matters worse, Anonymous was also able to access 78 accounts belonging to al-Assad’s staff, with 33 of them using the same 12345 or 123456 passwords.

The Syrian President must not have watched that scene from the Mel Brooks movie “Spaceballs”.
