CrowdStrike’s Insider Chaos: When Your Employee Becomes the Hacker’s Best Friend
CrowdStrike fired an employee for leaking confidential data to the hacking group Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters. The insider, dubbed “suspicious,” shared internal images online, but CrowdStrike insists their systems remain uncompromised. The company detected the breach quickly, preventing any real damage, and has escalated the matter to law enforcement.
Hot Take:
In a plot twist that no one saw coming—except maybe the IT department—CrowdStrike had to strike a pose against an insider who thought sharing company secrets was a good idea. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. Seems like in the world of cybersecurity, the real enemy isn’t always the guy wearing a hoodie in a dark room, sometimes it’s just Bob from accounting.
