Someone Tried to Hack Into the Cat 6 Patch Panels on the Rack Shelves
Last year our office got broke into at night and the intruder tried to open the cat 6 patch panels that were up on the rack shelves. We think he was attempting to put a tap on the system so he could hack into it later on and steal valuable company information. This was all put together by a detective and his team. This could have been extremely devastating for our company but luckily my boss noticed that one of the cat 6 patch panels was open the next morning so he looked at it closer and found the evidence. Now not only is the door to the rack shelves room locked but there are padlocks on the cat 6 patch panels just in case anyone gets in there. It is a pain for our tech team when they need to go in there and make a few switches to the system but it is better safe than sorry. The sad part is even though we caught the whole ordeal in time, they still have not found who broke in our office in the first place. I hope they catch this guy because knowing about cat 6 patch panels I would say he knows enough to be dangerous and enough to cause some harm to a lot of businesses.
