Bullshit journalism. This was not a post heist report, every buzzword chasing so called news outlets out there are repeating ad nauseam findings that were listed in a report produced by ANSSI in 2014! 2014! Eleven. Years. Ago! Did Louvre kept obsolete software around all this time, yes they probably did but this "Louvre" password claim just grinds my gears
