The Register's reporting shows it wasn't just him — multiple Hungarian officials used "password123" variants for government email. The breach exposed credentials before an election, which raises questions about whether poor password hygiene was incompetence or something more deliberate.

According to multiple sources, this appears to be Harvard's second breach in recent months — the earlier one via an Oracle zero-day. When credential resets become routine response rather than exception, you're treating symptoms of a deeper authentication problem.

Officials urge students and staff to reset credentials as security teams work to isolate the breach and secure sensitive research.

Finding out through a virus email that your data was breached months ago is exactly the transparency gap that makes breaches worse. People need time to protect themselves, not discover it after attackers are already using their data.
