How did he get the passwords? I had guessed he watched someone type them, which is possible. However I found both of them clearly written down, with instructions for using them, on sticky tabs stuck to the phone directory holder at the circulation desk. They were clearly readable to anyone standing there if they chose to do so. It always amazes me how many people will assume that something cannot be read upside down. I know it can, because I can read upside down text nearly as fast as I can proper, rightside up text...

All those passwords are getting changed tomorrow, even if it takes two weeks to get the new ones out to people. Anyone caught writing sensitive passwords down and sticking them to a desk, monitor, or other visible place will, from now on, be hung in a printer cable, then boiled in screen cleaning fluid, after which they will be drawn and quartered using a broken floppy disk casing as a knife.
