The Ransomware Insider Angle
The trope of the burglar comparison in cybersecurity is more than overused. But when we talk about the damage of a break-in, it’s not just picking the lock that’s the problem- we worry about what they’ll steal, what they’ll destroy, even what they’ll plant (yes, I have an active imagination). What seals the deal on a good heist is always the inside man, the bank clerk, the janitor or even the shareholder with gambling problems. It seems that the ransomware groups are catching up.
