Bad Password

So, you have a laptop which is broken, and you want to get it fixed. Probably the dumbest thing you can do is to forget to pick it up after repair.
Probably the second dumbest thing you can do is leave it for repair when it has lots and lots of sensitive information on it. You know, stuff like the cellphone numbers of former President Clinton, Harry Reid, John Kerry, etc. Not to mention things like your social security card.
Probably the third dumbest thing you can do is use a password that is easily guessed. You know, like "Hunter02."

The FBI has had the laptop since December 2019.
So if it has not exposed criminal behavior by now on the part of Joe Biden, and others have same data.... the FBI will be in a world of pain.
The odds seem low. On the other hand this feels less and less like a Russian disinformation campaign.

The timeline of when and how the FBI got access to Hunter’s laptop. They blew it off over a year ago only to follow up and get it December 2019. This is a very different telling of how the laptop surfaced than I understood from reading of media reports.

Who brings a laptop to a repair shop these days? If it’s broken and has no warranty left, you buy a new one and dispose the old (after making sure that no sensitive data can be recovered).

I brought two laptops to the Apple Store for repairs this year. They are still under th extended Apple Care warranty that I already paid for.

Well, there's that, of course.
I was thinking, why would the son of the former Vice-President have the personal contact information of two former presidents, the secretaries of state, leader of the Democratic party, and various senators?
Is that standard?
