Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike fired a “suspicious insider” last month, according to a report from TechCrunch.
The terminated worker allegedly provided information about the company’s internal systems to a prominent hacking group. The firing came to light after Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters published screenshots this week in a public Telegram channel showing dashboards containing CrowdStrike company resources, including an Okta dashboard for accessing internal apps.
While the hackers claimed to have attained access to CrowdStrike via a Salesforce-ecosystem breach involving customer engagement vendor Gainsight, CrowdStrike representatives denied that claim, saying instead the screenshots were related to the firing, in which the company “determined [the insider] shared pictures of his computer screen externally.”
“Our systems were never compromised and customers remained protected throughout. We have turned the case over to relevant law enforcement agencies,” CrowdStrike spokesperson Kevin Benacci told TechCrunch.
