With just once glance at 'Diabetes Management', you can have complete access to the archive of Australia medical journals. 

Graham Cluley Explains:

What's the point of a password, if it's published on the front cover of a magazine?

It seems a reasonable question, and I can't blame GP Thinus van Rensburg asking it on Twitter when a copy of Diabetes Management felt into his lap.

The password grants users access to the "complete, searchable archive of all Health Publishing Australia medical journals."

Okay, it's probably not the most sensitive information in the world as it's an archive of medical magazine articles. But you do have to wonder why they bothered to have a password at all if they're going to make it so public?
