### AI overview

This security investigation describes vulnerabilities in several internal Intel websites. The issues included bypassing corporate login controls, exploiting easily decryptable hardcoded credentials, and using client-side modifications to access employee and supplier information.

### Source excerpt

Hardcoded credentials, pointless encryption, and generous APIs exposed details of every employee and made it possible to break into internal websites.
