Man Accidentally Hacks into French Central Bank Using 123456 as Password

A French citizen has reportedly breached the Banque de France servers after unintentionally accessing the French Central Bank’s ‘secure’ servers over the phone using the password 123456. Apparently 654321 would have also worked.
The man was reportedly trying to reach  a central bank employee with questions about his account in order to avoid paying the standard fees for telephone support.

This is the quality of the men running the world via the central banks.
No word on whether Jessica Simpson was hired as a security consultant.

A French citizen has unintentionally breached the security of the French central bank (Banque de France) over the phone and was freed by French authorities after being accused of “hacking” the central bank’s and triggering a 48-hours shut down of that particular computer system which handles the consumer indebtedness files (basically people who are flagged as having a very bad credit history).

The man was trying to go around the paid telephone consumer support system and got from Internet forums what he thought was a direct-line to the central bank employees (yes, in France, you have to pay for most form of telephone support). When asked for a code by an automated system, he entered 123456 and it worked – he had just breached the central bank’s security.

It gets better: according to the man’s attorney, 654321 would have worked as well.

  1. This story is short on details, as I don’t see how you can “hack” anything using a voice-call. Perhaps he entered a voice mail box number that belonged to someone else? This is the worst he could have done.  Sounds like more hype than fact.

  2. Commonly known as the “Sesame Street Password”. In the words of the Wicked Witch of the West……”What a world…what a world!”

  3. I call Bullshit was my first thought…….
     
    But then didnt that One new OccupyCorporatism?  (might be wrong)  Woman say that you might hear about a hack happening on a Friday….and that you will then have just a few days to prepare about the system going down around you?
     
    We will see if anything BIG happens in France in the next few days I guess wont me.

  4. Inspector Clouseau is alive and well.

  5. Sounds like the central banks could use @helper ‘s help.

  6. Was this a crafted story to divert your attention from the banking transfer of toxic debt??

  7. What comes to my mind with this report, is that for a one world government and global central bank to be achieved, there has to be identified problems with the existing structure and processes. And so, we are now to believe that the French Central Bank is not secure? I don’t believe it. The world media are controlled by the same group who want global control, and these reports are all about that. We are having other scandals lately aswell, like LIBOR, the insecurity of the commercial banks in US, UK and Europe which have been breached by a ‘cyber attack’ and lots of money stolen – yeah right, I have met nobody who has been affected by this, yet the media have numerous reports about it in the last few months. More BS from the jews.

  8. What a poor story to use to explain yet another bank holiday test. They could have at least said the man used a bank website…

    Wait I remember this from Terminator 3, once he ”called” the server, he used an acoustic coupler to “hack” the server.

    For those of you who are too young to know what an acoustic coupler is, watch the orginal War Games movie :)   

  9. Wow – that’s simply stunning. Now we know their password protocols match their understanding of real economics.

    • Well, why not?  They are in jobs wherein they play with fake money all day long.  Is it any wonder that they would use fake computer security too?

  10. Ugh… now I have to change my SD password…

  11. LOL @SOL

  12. More distractions for the sheeple to keep their minds off the coming crash.

    • Exactly, Mary.  OK, you Sheeple, just relax, chew the cud, buy your new IPod/Pad/Whatever (Hey, it’s got a NEW plug!), and move along.  Nothing to see here.  Move along, move along.

       

  13.  
    What’s inside a regular bank? There are multiple cameras, a few bodyguards, a very big metallic steel vault that is very thick, an alarm just in case if there is a robbery and more but the password to access through all of these securities is 123456 or 123456. Ha ha ha!
