SINGAPORE — After maintaining his innocence for months, a former employee of info-technology firm Capgemini, the IT vendor of gaming hardware maker Razer, admitted that he caused a cybersecurity breach, which led to a months-long data leak.

This reversal in positions on Thursday came during an ongoing civil trial, which began in the High Court here about a week ago after homegrown firmRazer is seeking to recover at least US$7 million in losses — largely comprising loss of profits from its online website — from Capgemini.

Experts appointed by both companies agreed that a security misconfiguration — security settings for the ELK Stack being manually disabled — led to the cybersecurity breach on June 18, 2020. When Razer’s management team found out about the breach on Sept 9, 2020, Mr Cabalag resolved the issue within a day.

He said that he did not recall inserting a “#” command, which disabled the security settings of the Kibana application — one of the components of the ELK Stack. Capgemini’s expert report did not contain the log entries that Mr Whittley’s report did, he told the court.
