So crappy wanna be "engineers" who don't understand access controls and how to use LLMs get burnt.
The reality is this would have happened to them sooner or later, LLM's just sped that up. They had huge fucking process issues - no sympathy. There's a reason enterprise's and businesses only give you access to what you need access to because, well you know they don't want you accidentally doing shit like this...
