Well it makes sense how The Louvre was broken into so easily.

It’s being reported that the password for the video surveillance system at the Louvre, victims of a robbery of eight priceless artifacts last month, was simply “LOUVRE.”

According to the NY Post, the password was first revealed by France’s National Cybersecurity Agency in a 2014 audits, and subsequent audits found “serious shortcomings” in the Paris museum’s security systems, which also included the use of two-decade-old software.

It took a four-man crew less than eight minutes to break into the museum and steal France’s crown jewels valued at $102 million during a daytime heist on October 19.

Four suspects, including three believed to be a part of the crew of burglars, have been caught by authorities and handed preliminary charges.
