Guessing lots of inexperienced newbies. Hope they enjoy all their new penalties and lawsuits coming!! Merry Christmas!
Oh yes, HPE is at fault. Those training vids that are required? We all click through them to show compliance however the tell is the failure to execute. Not the first time HPE has exposed clients data and PII.
Probaby HPE's fault... they are bringing on lots of contractors in preparation for getting rid of all those "high cost" employees on the NGEN contract... people who don't have the training, experience, or skill to execute. This is hardly surprising. Lots of turnover in management as those people (some who aren't really bad people) realize how screwed the NGEN contract is.
Just follow the efforts to "Reduce costs" and understand that incidents like this will only increase with the poorer quality.
Not really HPE's fault. They did the right thing to communicate the breach. It looks like the hackers knew pretty well their target, and what they were looking for.
