There's no link to that post and I can't find it in other ways. I'm really not sure if this is real. There's also no mention how they're accessible. If it's not accessible from public networks... who cares?
It’s not smart to rely on a single point of failure to protect everything 100%. Maybe if you’re protecting home movies lol. But at the Louvre? Sheesh…
- What if the routers / modems have a security vulnerability?
- What if there’s (accidentally) an exposed ethernet cable somewhere in the museum that would let someone immediately access a private VLAN?
- What if someone breaks into the security room? either physically breaking the door down or stealing the keys to the room. That’s one of the first few passwords i’d guess as a thief.
In fairness, French password requirements include one uppercase, one number, and three letters you don’t pronounce.

Thieves, especially if there's a path to the room in which the cameras are accessed which is poorly covered by the camera distribution.
CCTV have internet access?
Isn’t this suppose to be a “closed-circuit”.
Still better than 'mot de passe' (password)
