Betting Giant BetVictor Leaked a List of Its Own Internal Systems Passwords (zdnet.com) 24
A popular betting platform left a password list for its internal systems on its website for anyone to find. From a report: BetVictor, a Gibraltar-based betting site, has since removed the two-page document containing a list of links to back office systems, including usernames and passwords. Chris Hogben found the document through the customer support search box on the company's homepage. The customer support pop-up allowed users to search the site's knowledge base of questions and answers. "Logins/Links to Back Offices - Internal," read the document's title, which contained over two-dozen passwords to the company's trading platform, ticketing system, and Experian's identity verification service, Hogben told ZDNet.

My money is on it being a low level dev, devops, or security guy who tried to tell management about good process and technology, but got shot down and lectured about expediency and time to market and maintenance costs and priorities and quarterly goals.

Firing people increases stock prices (traders are idiots...), so that may work out just fine for them.

And that is why you never place passwords in docs (Score:2)
But apparently some people still think passwords are a nuisance and need to be circumvented. Of curse, you have to be extremely stupid to think that. Looks like management hired the cheapest morons they could get.
