The WiFi SSID and password for the World Cup security center have been exposed after a federal police photo showed them written on a board.

The photo appeared on local news network Correio braziliense and showed the head of international cooperation Luiz Cravo Dorea standing in the multi-million dollar security center run by Israeli company Risco and used to monitor video from surveillance cameras around the event.

At the bottom of the pic, it is possible to read the SSID “WORLD CUP” and the password “b5a2112014”, for Brazil 2014.

The image has since been reTweeted over 2,300 times.

The incident is at least the second to occur this year. In February, the US Super Bowl security center attempted to change credentials after they were leaked on a CBS broadcast.
