Re: Morgan Stanley got lucky or were they prepared?
With the prevailng industry view that breaches are going to happen, & the best defense is limit the exposure to your most sensitive and critical data,I'd say Morgan Stanley was both lucky and prepared. But the fact that the source of the breach was an employee "wealth manager" should be a serious wakeup call about the insider threat to all, not just the financial industry.

Re: Morgan Stanley got lucky or were they prepared?

@Marilyn   Cohodas -  Good question, no doubt in my mind and we can only imagine what they would do with this data and how Morgan Stanley would react to it ?   Would they use the Sony defense ?   Where we argue it is every taxpayers problem or would they use the Chase Method and not say anything for months ?

Either way it is oddly fascinating to see the "Damage Control Psychology of the Breech" evolve as we speak. 

Now if we can get someone to be accountable - we just might be getting somewhere.

He's No Snowden.......

So now the financial industry has to worry about the would be hacker within ?  Already on the long rebound from the Chase debacle now Morgan Stanley ?    

From the narrative it sounds like Morgan Stanley got lucky or perhaps this person couldn't afford to flee to Russia.

Morgan Stanley got lucky or were they prepared?
Interesting that the the alleged perpetrator "was not very sophisticated or adept at hiding his activities." Makes me wonder if a more intreped attacker would have caused more damage.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
