You’ll get a kick out of this if you haven’t already seen it - a collection of random slice of life videos uploaded during the time when iPhones had a built in “send to YouTube” button. So many fascinating moments that would otherwise be lost to time. https://walzr.com/IMG_0001

Glad to hear their security has improved since then! This was the 2014 Commonwealth Games and I had only recently learned about password hashing so I was particularly shocked that they were exposing passwords to thin clients used by front line employees.

I worked a summer job in a Ticketmaster box office ten years ago and had access to the whole of their UK customer database in order to print off ticket collections. I’d type in a customer’s post code and up came all of the data Ticketmaster held on them… including their password in plaintext.
