Passwords leaked on live TV as UK responds to flood emergency

The UK has been hit hard by extreme weather conditions, with transport systems shut down, homes flooded and high winds cutting electricity supplies.

And, inevitably, the story has been dominating the TV news reports for days.

Do you see anything unusual in this Sky News report from this morning from a bunker where emergency efforts are being co-ordinated?

Ignore the chap waving his arms around in front of a map, and take a closer look at what’s behind him.

It’s reassuring to see that they’re using WPA2 encryption at least…

Repeat after me: When TV crews visit, remember to wipe the whiteboard.

Hat-tip: Thanks to reader Ian H for sending in the tip.
