thoughts on this insider threat case?
(lemmus.org)
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 ๐
why cd's? less digital footprint? burnin a disc feels more 'mechanical' โ maybe it leaves nothing on the host side compared to mounting a usb mass storage? is it off the grid coz its physical legacy tech and modern dlp/edr just ignore it? anyone ever seen optical media used as a stealth exfiltration vector like this?
it was probably a long time ago
