Insight Partners Hack: When Hackers Invest in Your Cybersecurity Skills
Insight Partners revealed a cyberattack where hackers used social engineering to breach its systems. Detected and halted on the same day, the breach’s full impact is still under investigation. While they downplay effects on funds, the risk of sensitive data exposure persists. Insight Partners notified stakeholders to stay vigilant.
Hot Take:
Looks like Insight Partners was invited to a not-so-exclusive cyber shindig they never RSVP’d to. The hackers must have been social engineering wizards, pulling off a digital Houdini act that left Insight Partners searching for their invisible rabbit. Note to self: when hackers show up at your cyber door, make sure your security system says “abracadabra” instead of “open sesame”.
