Yeah.. they hired this guy to work on their systems and he uses a DICTIONARY attack against them. Now I don't think most of my passwords are good, but a dictionary attack? That means they had passwords like titties or boobs123. Good job. Someone over there please fix your password policy. Expiring passwords isn't enough.. hell it causes you to pick shitty passwords if its too often. Second, who hired that guy? There's outside the box and then there's rediculous. Perhaps the policies where there to stop something like this?
