The damages awarded comprised largely US$6.1 million in loss of profits from Razer's e-commerce platform. Razer said former Capgemini employee Argel Cabalag, who was tasked to do troubleshooting after Razer staff could not log in to the system, was the only one who accessed the server during the 16-minute window.
Capgemini, represented by Senior Counsel Andre Yeap of Rajah & Tann, said its employee did not cause the misconfiguration and suggested that new IP addresses set up by Razer could have been the cause.
