It says the company claimed that the credential leak was discovered and remediated 18 months ago, meanwhile the leaked credentials were still working as of a month ago.
Is this level of governance and sophistication really typical of vendors in this space? Sprawling enterprises I can imagine losing track of the odd place or two where the credentials are used, but a vendor who only does one thing, specifically a high-trust thing like this?
Even if they don’t have the wherewithal to be thorough in-house, am I confused to imagine that such a firm would have to carry insurance, which would tend to bring in specialists to make sure this kind of remediation is done right?
