A Kubernetes node becomes an identity breach point when an attacker gains root access.

KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself — they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
