What do we got? So if you'll take a look at the first page of your agenda, you're the one who stopped the heck you know. The gals in Analysis said this was a tough one. All things being equal, should have shut us down for days, so you did good. Okay, we should start with our account executive, Angela. Okay, we first noticed the breach at 2:07 a.m. Eastern Standard on Friday night. You mean Saturday? Sorry, yes, technically Saturday morning. Yeah, okay, Angela, that's what we're here for, the technicals, right? Yes, anyway, he arrived at the office at 2:35, and I understood. So that's almost a half hour after the initial breach. Why didn't anyone pipe in from their laptops? It's not. It wouldn't have been secure if someone terminal then on this. It was the smarter move to have someone come in so they can log in on a secure line. Exactly. Actually, just one second. You know, I always love this view. Now that that's taken care of, let's pick it up what we left off.

what happened to Angela? She knows more about what happened. She's not going to work out for us, not on this level. We need to stick to the more tech-savvy here. Now let's get to the heart of this thing because I can't sit here and look through a packet for the next 20 minutes. All right, just who did this? Is it that hard? Who did this? I found the configuration file, the root kit with a pattern of IP addresses. Once he decrypted, you'll know where the hat came from. [Music]

on Saturday, with the account executive, Angela, arriving at the office by 2:35 a.

No one could respond from their laptops due to security concerns, making it smarter to have someone come in for a secure login.

The meeting then shifted focus to continue discussing the breach response.

Angela has valuable information about the situation but is not suited for the team's needs.

The focus is on finding someone more tech-savvy.

A configuration file and root kit with a pattern of IP addresses have been discovered, and decrypting them will reveal the source of the issue.
