+ - Passwords of a leading Swedish newpaper leaked 1

Submitted by Goglu on Thursday January 03, 2008 @03:31PM

Goglu writes "Aftonbladet, a leading Swedish newspaper, was hacked yesterday and the usernames and passwords of their employees leaked on the Internet. This attack was considered "an assault on democracy". It will of course be investigated by the police.
All this said, a competitor to Aftonbladet was happy to point out that several users protected their precious information with only their first name as a password...
Question to the community: Does leaking these usernames and passwords in the open, and forcing the newspaper to take basic security measures (such as a password policy) really is "an assault on democracy"?
