Scenario

Caspery, a senior developer working remotely for Wowza Enterprise, reported that his git commit commands were taking unusually long to complete.

Several days later, the Threat Intelligence team discovered Caspery's credentials and API keys leaked on a dark web forum. The data included sensitive information from Wowza's internal systems.
