Super Bowl Wi-Fi password credentials broadcast in pre-game security gaffe
During the pre-game coverage for NFL Super Bowl XLVIII, television news inadvertently broadcast the stadium's internal Wi-Fi login credentials, which were in plain sight on an enormous, unmissable, wall-mounted monitor inside a command center.
The Wi-Fi credentials, which have likely been changed as news of the security gaffe has spread like wildfire on Twitter and community blogs, had "marko" as the login, and a pseudo-leet speak variation of 'welcome here' as the password.
The televised segment broadcast this morning was a feature that gave a first-time peek into Super Bowl security headquarters. It would appear that network security at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is not up to enterprise levels.
