A theft has been reported at the Louvre Museum in Paris due to a security breach. According to international media outlet ABC News, the theft occurred due to a security breach at the museum.
The password for the museum's video surveillance system was revealed to be 'Louvre' when it was broken into on October 19. ABC News, citing museum staff, said the security system was flawed.
In a statement to a French Senate committee last month, Louvre President and Director Laurence de Carres said the cameras installed outside the Apollo Gallery were facing west and that the thieves used powerful tools to break in and out of the area, not covering the windows. She also said all the museum's alarms and video cameras were working, but acknowledged that the museum's perimeter security was weak due to underinvestment.
