Nate Leaks Ted’s Panic Attack

01Scenario

A trusted assistant coach who feels ignored leaks Ted’s private panic attack to Trent Crimm, weaponizing information available only inside the team’s circle of trust.

Privileged access plus resentment can turn a nominally aligned insider into a serious security risk before ordinary performance monitoring notices.

03Where the analogy breaks
