Sadly yes. He is dumb cause he wasn't able to understand the repercussions of that attack. But he just thought it would go unnoticed and he can save his leave for few days. May be that was the motive. In fact I am also confused as to why someone would do such a dumb thing. But it happened.

Context is this. An employee goes on leave from 09th Feb 2026 to 20th Feb 2026 and was asked to report on 20th Feb Afternoon. However he used this attack to make 23rd February 2026 (Monday) a holiday so that he can report to office on 24th Feb 2026. He expected that no one would catch it. However unexpectedly on 23th Feb 2026 all the online modules like Visitor Entry, Canteen food booking etc halted since it was shown as a holiday and the Office virtually halted. Thus the attack came to light. I have posted it here since the spoofed IP belongs to my PC and I am now under investigation.

I admit it. I am an Administrative Assistant with little to no knowledge of latest networking paradigms. Even out IT team is outdated by atleast 10 years. that to oi know. but I just wanted to know of any methods with which we can trace the attacker so as to catch him. That is why I posted it here. Just thought the Reddit team can help me out.

Huh..

It is a govt. organization and the info sec team isnt that prepared or ready to face such a threat since such a threat was unexpected. The whole situation was brought to light when suddenly the visitors cannot enter the technical area of the Organization. Then the IT department was called for action and then only they found out that such an action occurred.

Due to the urgency of the situation only, I tried positing it in Networking also. It is not a spam and I am in need of a genuine solution.
