This is what I have heard as well. Seems they left an open network window while connected to a network they were not supposed to. Not at all shocking of Tech M. Poorest quality contractors in every aspect.

It is true. Happened through Tech Mahindra employees contracted by T who were not working in the offshore secure location that Tech M had reported them to be.

Yeah, but they put cameras up and freaking parking lot and have somebody watching every movement, but nobody’s ever watching the network because they’ve outsourced all the work people who don’t care or really don’t have the experience to take care of it.

How many of these 'hackers' are h1b's? Do we really think our Infosys masters are vetting people?

The key point in the article pretty much sums up baich so fairly likely is true. When other hackers breached the network, it took them months to discover and baich only blamed others and not his policies. Am sure it will again be the case with his pushdowns on this.

“That those id--ts don’t even know what we tampered with, what we have access to, and what things were disrupted!”

we use salesforce, so an attack or not, it responds the same way. Bill payments take an act of congress. Internet air orders........ ha hahhhaaa, you could submit 5 fiber orders in the amount of time it takes to submit a single air order. Driving customers away - that's the name of the game.

Hard to believe that removing the copy and paste function from Outlook didn’t solve all of our problems.

Wouldn’t be surprised. We get hacked all the time by China, Russia, North Korea and others.

All of CSO’s window dressing mandates did nothing to stop another attack. I’m sure there will be more red tape coming…along with more successful attacks. 🙄

I keep telling you, India's finest are on top of it . If they can't handle it didnt we outsource some of the security to the Israelis ? We have everyone but Americans protecting our network and what's left of our corporate customers that weren't pushed off to companies like Infosys right ?
