I would posit it: 1) gross negligence on part of the "leadership" or/and 2) inside job by the staff
Article implies a third party did the job tho
Historically, how many of these days breaches have been linked to an inside person? The answer is almost none. Your first point is correct that someone (s) was likely was negligent, but your second point is tin foil bullshit. Maybe if there was any indication of foul play, the accusation has merit, but there's been none. Like almost all other breaches, it was likely a third party.
It would be nearly impossible to prove without inside knowledge...
However the fact that these breaches happen so often, would make one wonder how everybody is this "negligent" all the time.
There is a large economic incentive here BTW
But hey at least we can train AI with this data. Thank you for your service peasants.
Execs dindu nuffin mate just getting paid big bucks for "negligece"
Hahahahahahahahhahuahahahha. Get a job for an ISP. Then try to get in contact with ATT about your companies carrier lines with them. ATT is a fucking joke. Your commentary is so hilariously out of touch. Half the employees with access to these databases work in India.
ATT leaks everybody's info but I am out of touch... Sure buddy
