I did something kinda similar when I applied. Why put effort into remembering a new password when I was only going to use it once to fill out a job ap? Wants anyone even going to do with my account?
Goddamn it man, not the user account password, the fucking admin account password. Did you even read the article? Every single user account's information was compromised, not one random jerk with 123456 for their password.

Not the person you were responding to, but... Did I read the article stuck behind a paywall? No, no I did not
Edit: ah I see the non paywall link now

When I used to work at McDonald's they required a fingerprint to clock in and out. They then apparently sold everyone's biometric data. I got some kind of settlement thing but it was like $20 or something. So that was nice... I guess

If the class action I found online is the same one. My old shitty job tried to implement biometrics and dropped it around the time of that class action. What a coincidence. So thanks?

You're welcome. I am glad to lose my fingerprint data for assistance of a friend

Seriously though, who the fuck uses 123456 as the password for anything? The morons pulling shit like this are making bank while the people brought onboard by McDonalds make scratch by comparison, and would be crucified for fucking up even a fraction as much as this. Millions, with six zeroes, millions of applicants' data stolen from an account with the kind of password that a kid would use on their home computer. Fuck, this makes me so mad, the sheer incompetence.
You just know new hires there must have to watch some anodyne video about data security that mentions secure passwords too.

The bitlocker code for the desktop I sometimes use at work is 123456789. I asked IT who was the idiot that decided that was a good idea. The CTO apparently.
