Dollars to Donuts ehhh???
How many donuts you think it will take to pay for legal costs and clean
up if there are customer data on the machine? I think right about now I
would:
1. Notify Risk Management and Your Compliancy Officer.
2. Take it off the network connections.
3. Do a live rsync and dd image + ram copy = running processes/hidden.
4. Same as 3. but with the machine off.
5. The company attorney needs to be notified.
6. By State and Federal Law in the US you have so many days to report
incidents like this to users (customers) and law enforcement.
