Honestly, what do you think was going to happen when the password is as such?

This is too funny. Must have been an inside job. I wonder if Dinelli (sic?) is the one who let it out. Could this spell trouble for our esteemed crook of a mayor? This is proof he can't be trusted. What a loser.

How long has he been mayor? Maybe it's more appropriate to say some people are not smart enough to vote for someone else...

The problem IS the mayor. Just how did they "take care" of that? Good thing he doesn't work at Sandia or Los Alamos Labs, or a higher political position, where he could compromise national security.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I bet the hacker works at UNM Health Sciences Center, is a woman and has hacked into other people's computers before.

His birthday was easy enough to find at wikipedia.

Maybe the mayor and Sarah Palin have something in common. So it just shows that both parties is lacking in some sort of smarts.

If I know the malevolent midget, Mayor for Life Marty Chavez, he has probably mobilized the Albuquerque P.D. cyber crimes unit and will relentlessly hunt down the hacker until they make an example out of her. He'll probably say she is mentally unstable so they can hold her in jail indefinitely until a psychological evaluation can be had. His horoscope is spot-on about his personality. If anything, it's a bit too kind!

Wow, I'da thunk we didn't have a cyber crimes unit. At least not one that actually does anything. We had an internet id theft a few years back and one of the websites said they would release the physical address of the person if a police officer called them. Obviously, APD didn't call. The real irony is that they would have had a solved case to include in their stats on what an effective agency they are!

I hope everyone takes note of this. How many posting have something simple like this for a password? Get smart and have a password that is harder to hack. My middle school students always try these "easy" hacks to get into things. We need to be smarter.
