The company says the hackers used a phishing lure targeting Reddit employees with a landing page impersonating its intranet site.
In order to mimic the landing page of the Reddit intranet site, someone would have to know what it currently looks like. That means it was either an inside job or they had already breached Reddit enough to discover and pull up the intranet site in order to copy its look. It could have been a former employee/contractor, but depending on how far back they worked there, the intranet might have gone through a redesign. No matter what, Reddit employees are stupid and the company's security is lax. Glad it happened to them.
