Didn't realize you were a financial org.  The FBI has a cyber crime task
force.  I'd call them and see what they say.

A) the user account was used without even 1 failed attempt.

B) user is in that capacity but really doesn't seem to have the aptitude
to pull this off.  And she is the one that reported the suspicious
activity??

 

Yes a file was uploaded for us to run through the Federal Reserve.
Would have cost us $105K if the girl hadn't pointed it out.

We know there were 5 external IP addresses logging into the system with
valid cred's but not our employees.

We know that they are all from Comcast, AT&T, and RoadRunner.  Which
means they are probably botnets.

        A is too specific, could've been brute force or an easily
guessed password in addition to malware/keylogger.

        Can you determine what was accessed with any degree of
certainty?  What regulatory agencies is your organization governed by?
I'd start with that.

         

        Interestingly, did you read this Washington Post article?

        (beware the wrap)

        I would also review banking information if this person is at all
involved with bookkeeping, AP or AR functions.

        If someone has access to your ssl website with valid username

        A someone has a keylogger and their computer is compromised.

        B someone just out and out gave the information away.

         

        Is that a correct assessment?

         

        If you have the IP from the 'hacker' that accessed your website
who do you report it too???

        Most likely it is a bot and nothing can be done but who do you
report it too none the less???
