The Vector: A threat actor gained access to compromised employee email account and acting with all the same permissions as the breached credentials, downloaded and stole the information.
This breach is a stark reminder of the importance of robust employee credential authentication and password hygiene. Performing regular monitoring on account behaviour is critical to ensure access is kept within the firm. Additionally, locking down appropriate permissions, admin access, and ensuring users only need the tools they need to do their jobs, and no more, will reduce the risk of these attacks.
