Cybersecurity Snafu: Guidehouse & Nan McKay Cough Up $11.3M for COVID-19 Relief Blunders

Hot Take:

It's like handing over the keys to your brand new car to a valet who promises to park it safely, only to find it hitched to a post on the World Wide Web with a "Steal Me" sign. Guidehouse and Nan McKay, the dynamic duo of cybersecurity slackers, have offered their piggy banks – a mere $11.3 million – as penance for their cyber-sins. But let's be real, that's pocket change for these giants. And somewhere, a whistleblower is doing the happy dance with a cool $1.9 million for not keeping their lips zipped. Who said snitches get stitches? More like riches!
