HELLFIRE

From TheRegister’s OnCall, but they also mark it as security-related : https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/11/on_call/

… After pressing F12 to access his browser’s Developer Tools, he found his password in the site’s code. … Boris reported this mess to the HR person who sent the emails, then demonstrated the problem; she exploded in a fit of rage. …
