쌍둥이 형제, 해고 몇 분 뒤 정부 데이터베이스 96개 삭제

Why it matters

This case exposes a critical vulnerability in post-termination access management—a five-minute gap between dismissal and account deactivation allowed a malicious insider with prior criminal convictions to delete 96 government databases and exfiltrate sensitive federal data. It underscores the necessity for instantaneous credential revocation upon termination and the heightened security risks of insufficient background vetting for access-sensitive positions. The incident demonstrates how rapidly insider threats can escalate from credential theft to catastrophic data destruction.
