The Project's Instagram page goes rogue as 'bosses forget to change the password' after the show's axing
The program, which was pulled from the schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes, aired its final episode on Friday.
And while The Project has officially ended, the show's Instagram page appears to still be very active.
On Tuesday, a post poking fun at the Network Ten bosses was shared to social media.
'The bosses really should have changed the password from Password1,' it read.

'Well, well, well, look who is in charge now... It's me! The social media hero (that's what I call myself),' it was captioned.
The following day, another post was shared to The Project's social media page: 'Still cancelled. Still curious.'
'I have nobody to share the silly news I see from around the world with,' the caption read.
'That, and the other things we should be discussing… Shall I just post the things that interest/make me laugh anyway?'
A third post showed a woman getting knocked over by a huge box blowing in the wind during Sydney's recent storm.
'We have been off air for less than a week, and a woman has been knocked over by a fridge box? You just can't make this stuff up,' it read.
The Project was officially axed after 16 years last week, and aired its final episode on June 27.
It was replaced 10 News+ which failed to impress viewers following its debut on Monday night.
The first episode included an investigation on drug smuggling Melbourne mum Debbie Voulgaris and a sit down chat with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Not everyone liked what they saw however, with many sharing their thoughts on X.
Several compared 10 News+ to A Current Affair with one posting: 'This is like ACA. Going to peoples houses to talk & them avoiding the cameras.'
'You replaced The Project with a Temu ACA not seeing @theprojecttv is incredibly depressing. 10news+ sucks!' complained another viewer.
Someone else said: 'This is proper @Channel7 style commercial JUNK. It's like watching a cross between Fox News and Anchorman. Why the silly 'news' voices!?'
One more person tuning in at home asked: 'Anyone else bored so far?' while someone else said, 'please no more long investigation reports it's 6pm.'
'This is trash, so dry and bland. Time for the project 2.0 and a game show in a prime time slot up against Home and Away. Good luck,' someone wrote.
'Not even bothering with #10newsplus bring back #TheProjectTV' one more wrote with someone else saying, 'Is Denham Hitchcock AI generated or just stupid?'aid.
'Dribble. Won't last the year,' a viewer said with another adding, 'Felt like it was a Comedy Company parody from the 80s. The fist pump at the end? Yikes.'
Not everyone was so negative with one fan writing: 'Loving @10NewsPlus - strong launch story. Is this the new Schapelle Corby story we all need to know about. 10 news should be very proud.'

Married At First Sight star Evelyn Ellis makes shock confession about her future with boyfriend Duncan James: 'The most stressful thing ever'
Married At First Sight star Evelyn Ellis has opened up about her relationship with Duncan James, revealing if marriage is on the cards for the reality TV couple. Evelyn, 29, and Duncan, 39, who both appeared on season 10 of the hit dating show, have been together for over two years, sharing milestone moments and behind the scenes glimpses of their life together on social media. However, the former Big Brother star took to Instagram to answer a commonly asked question about her relationship with Duncan: is a wedding on the cards in 2026? 'It's definitely one of the more frequently asked questions today, I think I got like a hundred wedding questions,' she revealed in the Instagram Story, which showed her putting on her makeup and getting ready for the day. 'I don't know, I don't know what's happening in the future,' she told her 449,000 fans. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She then made a shock confession about marrying her longtime beau, revealing that it seemed like 'the most stressful thing ever'. 'Just right now I think every woman has a vision in mind but to be completely honest with you, this whole wedding situation and planning a wedding, it sounds very, very stressful,' she said. Evelyn then admitted she had something a little bit more timely on her mind. 'I'm just trying to plan my 30th right now,' she confessed. 'But I'd love to hear from you guys about planning a wedding because that sounds like the most stressful thing ever, it sounds so expensive, there's so much pressure around it, I'm just like, argh I don't know.' Evelyn and Duncan recently celebrated their two-year anniversary in style, stepping out for a romantic evening in April. Taking to Instagram, Duncan posted a sweet message alongside a series of glam snaps with Evelyn. 'Two years of loving you. Which is 730 days, and approximately 1,051,200 minutes of putting up with each other,' he wrote. 'Thank you, for being you.' Evelyn cheekily responded in the comments with, 'we still got it!' - proving the spark is very much alive between the fan-favourite couple. In the photos, the reality TV lovebirds are seen posing arm-in-arm at a chic dining spot Besuto Restaurant in Sydney's CBD. One snap shows the pair holding hands at the bar while flashing loved-up smiles. Another captures a sweet close-up of their cosy moment together with Evelyn resting her head on Duncan's shoulder. The anniversary marks a major milestone for the MAFS couple, who were originally paired with different partners on the Channel Nine reality show before forming a connection after filming wrapped. Duncan and Evelyn have been going strong since announcing they were dating in May 2023. Evelyn confirmed her relationship with fellow MAFS groom Duncan, who was paired with Alyssa Barmonde on the show. The pair, who were pictured kissing and cuddling on a date night in Sydney, revealed it was 'exhilarating' and 'freeing' to finally go public after months of rumours. 'We are in a relationship. This is our hard launch,' Evelyn told at the time. 'It feels good to finally just say it and it feels kind of exhilarating in a weird, freeing way,' the Maxim cover girl added with a laugh.

Inside the wholesome new State of Origin bonding sessions as stars replace kegs of beer with soft drinks, lollies and talk about their childhoods
The days of footy players heading out on boozy bonding sessions are long gone. Even Queensland great Billy Moore once shed light on how wild the team meet-up sessions were back in the 90s, stating that players stayed up all night drinking beer for the first four nights of one camp during one series. But, in the age of sports science and premium performance, bonding sessions for NRL players in the modern era look drastically different, as New South Wales have shown this week. The Daily Telegraph revealed on Thursday how Laurie Daly's squad are getting to know each other better, in order to win this year's State of Origin Series. The Blues suffered an agonising defeat in their second Origin clash against Queensland, meaning bragging rights for 2025 will all come down to next Wednesday's final clash at the Accor Stadium in Sydney. While they outscored the Maroons for tries, they were unable to kick their conversions, meaning they missed out on retaining the shield by just three points. But as they re-group and re-gather to go again next week, the team have also been focusing on their camaraderie in order to best Billy Slater's side. Every week while they are in camp, the Blues all come together on a Thursday for what's known as 'Sirro's Happy Hour'. Organised by Paul Sironen, an Origin legend, and now the Blues 'moral officer', players gather at the Two Doctors Whiskey Tavern, at their residence, the Fairmont Resort. Here the players spend several hours competing in groups against each other, taking part in quizzes, joke telling, singing contests, interviews and also speaking about each other's childhood. As for the refreshments, the team drink fizzy drinks and tuck into a pack of lollies during the evening. 'Sirro's Happy hour has become a big part of camp,' New South Wales star Connor Watson said. 'It's about connecting with everyone. We have had trivia, interviews, a bit of music and it has also allowed us to learn more about the players and staff. He then opened up on why the meetings were so critical to the team. 'That's really important when you're building proper connections by digging a little bit deeper, not just surface-level stuff. It bonds us.' Sironen, who made 14 appearances for the Blues during his distinguished footy career, knows all about just how important camaraderie and team bonding is. The 60-year-old former Balmain Tigers second-row, who won three back-to-back Origin series, said that the team were learning new things about each other. 'It's a good laugh but is also great for our camaraderie. It's a crack-up but we're also learning stuff we didn't know – people's life stories,' Sironen said. 'It's a lighthearted hour. It's become part of camp and is another layer of connection. We do trivia, music trivia and interview players about when and where they grew up. 'We dig down and find some personal things about our staff and players, their quirky habits and anecdotes. We might have a singing contest.' However, he revealed the challenges and games that the players will undertake don't stay the same from camp to camp. 'Last camp, players had to guess songs,' he said. 'Other players had headphones on with music being played and they had to try and sing the song while the rest of the team had to guess what song it was. It was quite entertaining – there are some very ordinary singers in the team. 'I do a little bit of research to find out some bits and pieces. It's good fun. 'It adds to the camp. I love it. We did last year as well and we're finetuning it. It's a good idea. We bring out some lollies and they have soft drinks.' For Sironen, this will be the 30th anniversary of New South Wales' victory in 1994, when they completed the three-peat. That was his last-ever appearance in a Blues jersey, however, the footy great says he is loving still being involved in the side. 'It's been 30 years since I last played Origin so it's great to still be involved, particularly at this level.'

Lynne McGranger's heartbreaking final Home and Away storyline revealed as her beloved character Irene is set to face devastating illness
Home and Away is set to wave goodbye to one of its beloved, longstanding cast members, and her final hurrah is creeping up on fans quicker than they expected. Irene Roberts, played by the legendary Lynne McGranger, will be leaving screens in the coming months after three decades on the hit Aussie series. It has been revealed that the tough-talking, lovable character's final storyline, which is currently in motion, will grip the nation. In recent weeks, Irene has battled with distressing memory loss, including a moment where she forgot she was babysitting Archie and nearly left him at home by himself. Next week, Irene will take her first step in coming face-to-face with the truth, with the help of dear friend, John Palmer, played by Shane Withington. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. After John pushes Irene to meet with Dr Bree Cameron, played by Juliet Godwin, for a medical consultation, the reality of the situation becomes hard to shake off: There's no coming back from this one. As word spreads about her condition, the Summer Bay community will rally around the much-loved character and get her through her toughest challenge. In March, it was revealed that Lynne had filmed her final scenes as Irene on Home and Away, with the series sharing moving scenes from her last day on set. The 72-year-old was gifted flowers by her co-stars, including Ada Nicodemou, and looked very emotional - albeit elated - as she finished up at Seven's long-running series after over 30 years in the cast. 'I've had the ride of my life. And I love each and every one of you so much: The cast – Ray, Georgie, Emily, Shane, Ada, James, all the youngins' she said in a statement. 'The art department, the writers, everybody – there are so many unsung heroes. This show is made up of so many parts' Lynne continued. 'You're all amazing, and it's been my great privilege to work with each and every one of you. I'm touched, I'm humbled and I'm so honoured. Thank you so much.' An additional post to the show's Instagram read: 'Today, Lynne wrapped her final scene with her best friend Ada by her side. 'Stay tuned for Irene's emotional exit storyline coming later this year'. Lynne has been a Home and Away fan favourite for three decades playing the character of 'Aussie battler' Irene Roberts. The actress, who is nominated for both a Silver and Gold Logie at this year's 65th Awards, announced her departure from the show earlier this year. 'After almost 33 years in my dream role and working every day with people who I love, respect and whom I now consider family, it's bittersweet to be closing the chapter on what has been the best and longest gig of my life' the veteran star said at the time. 'I am forever grateful to the best production crew in the world and to our genius writers – whose doors are always open – for everything they have done for Irene over the past 33-odd years' she continued. 'And I am so proud of the storyline which will see Irene out of the Bay. Above all, a massive, heartfelt thank you to the fans for your continued love and support.'
