Tech contractor for Brightly Software sentenced to 2 years in prison for insider attack
Cameron Curry sentenced to two years for stealing Brightly Software employee data and extorting the Siemens-owned firm for $7,540.92.
Cameron Nicholas Curry, a 27-year-old data analyst contractor at Siemens-owned Brightly Software, stole corporate and sensitive payroll data between August and December 2023 and sent more than 60 threatening emails to employees after his contract ended. He demanded roughly $2.5 million but received $7,540.92 in late January 2024, and was convicted of six counts of extortion in March. He was sentenced to two years in prison plus one year of supervised release, less than the 12-year maximum, after investigators traced him via operational security mistakes including a Coinbase account linked to family debit cards.
