When you think about security passwords, your mind probably goes to lengthy, complex combinations; especially when we're talking about something that can kill billions of people and start a worldwide nuclear holocaust.
The article from MSN discusses a surprising revelation about the security of the U.S. nuclear arsenal during the Cold War. Until 1977, the launch code for America's nuclear missiles was set to an incredibly simple and insecure sequence: eight zeros (00000000). This was due to a policy under President John F. Kennedy, who believed that in the event of a real nuclear threat, the President should have the authority to launch without delay, thus bypassing the need for complex codes. This decision was influenced by the fear of Soviet first-strike capabilities and the desire to ensure a swift retaliatory response. However, this practice was eventually changed in 1977 when the codes were updated to be more secure, reflecting a shift in security protocols and the recognition of the inherent risks of such a simplistic system.
