Recently, the company laid off several
employees, resulting in many disgruntled workers.
Now, the information technology (IT) staff has reported a spike in
network attacks numbering in the thousands. Reports from the
intrusion detection system (IDS) indicate that two of these
potential attacks may have compromised highly classified plans
for a new prototype avionics switchboard, which is expected to
revolutionize the market. The IT staff suspects that the attacks and
potential security breach may have something to do with the
recently laid-off staff.
