quick case study for the cybersec folks here. got this real story in my dpo class & wanted ur thoughts.

IT guy at a bank, last day of his notice period. a trainee saw him puttin some CD-ROMs in his bag & told security. they checked him at the exit and found a full export of the bank's top clients on the discs. guy got fired for gross misconduct & a police complaint was filed.

any red flags or stuff that stands out to u technicaly or otherwise ? i have my own ideas on this cas but curious what u guys think first?

thx ๐Ÿ˜Ž

There was a recent case in South Korea where it was bypassed by just writing it down with pen and paper manually.

That was one of the little things I remember from one of the various Warthunder leaks. The guy was sharing military secrets by copying the info by hand but only got caught after he started copying the documents in other ways because he felt like people weren't giving him enough respect for his handmade copies.

Hell, even a small camera would work great. It'd be faster too.
