      Are the most common passwords for regular employees. Update the year with the current or previous one.

      Source: I was in IT.

      P.s. if you have access to the physical location. Look for post-it notes under the keyboard.

        Under the keyboard? The company you worked for must be some sort of security company or financial institution. I’ve seen them stuck on the damn monitor.

        Oh shit, stealing this. Tired of changing the number on my overly long password. It’s just inconvenient to type 32 charachters when “SeasonYear” would work.

        Bro just made an unknown company a little less secure 💀

      That proves you were the one that was targeted. It doesn’t say anything about your intentions.

      You could have had the best intentions and just missed the signs that it was a malicious email. Or you could have intentionally clicked on it out of spite.

      If I knew my employee did it out of spite, I would fire them. Otherwise, it falls under the shit happens category, try to do better next time.

        If was so miserable at a job that I thought giving passwords away to random people was a good idea, I would hope that I had moved on long before.
