  The

  begins
• 0:22
  with

  incomplete

  containment.
• 0:24
  In

  late

  February

  2026,

  a

• 0:35
  Aqua
• 0:35
  detected
• 0:36
  the

  initial
• 0:36
  breach
• 0:36
  and
• 0:36
  rotated
• 0:37
  credentials,
• 0:38
  but
• 0:38
  the
• 0:38
  rotation
• 0:39
  "wasn't
• 0:39
  atomic
• 0:40
  and

• 0:42
  That

  catastrophic.
