Lost USB with 460k city residents’ personal data found
From what I heard, the original press conference was a doozy:<p>Reporter: Wasn&#x27;t the password something insecure like a four-digit number?<p>Officer: No, it&#x27;s a 13-letter alphanumeric password.<p>Reporter: But if it was totally random wasn&#x27;t it hard to use?<p>Officer: It&#x27;s a meaningful English word, followed by a meaningful four-digit number, so it&#x27;s quite easy to memorize.<p>Reporter: By an English word, you mean something like _password_?<p>Officer: It&#x27;s not a simple word.  It&#x27;s a word and a number that are related to the City of Amagasaki.<p>Reporter: Do you use a capital letter?<p>Officer: It&#x27;s grammatically correct, as only the first letter is capital.<p>For god&#x27;s sake, if you just lost a USB stick with the whole city&#x27;s personal data, don&#x27;t spell out how you chose your password!!!
