OOPS: Is this the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency's computer password?
2018-01-16
As Twitchy reported earlier, the guy in Hawaii who panicked everyone with a false incoming ballistic missile alert has been "reassigned" for the time being during an investigation.

"Warning Point?" Where have we (maybe) seen those words before? Could it have been in a July 2017 Associated Press photo of Jeffrey Wong, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency’s operations officer?

The original AP photo accompanied stories in several newspapers and magazines last summer and it’s true ‐ on the monitors pictured behind Wong are sticky notes. And, when zoomed in sufficiently, they seem to show the words "Password Warningpoint2."

#7  "If a missile was in-bound to Honolulu from North Korea, it would only take about 30 minutes to reach its target after launch — less time than it took the Hawaiian agency to revoke its warning!"

I recommend using "incorrect". That way, when you get the pop-up saying "Your password is incorrect", it serves as a reminder. No brain, no strain!

#3  Pretty typical with low government workers.

(Low being the less secure/enforced side of things)
