Hijacked New York Post Site Highlights the 'Insider Threat' -- Again
(Bloomberg) -- When a New York Post employee on Thursday hijacked the company’s website and Twitter Inc. account to post death threats, as well as racist and misogynistic headlines, it was just the latest example of a company insider abusing their access for their own gain.
The Post fired the unnamed employee after headlines on the news site included offensive headlines, including calling for the assassination of some US leaders
For all the attention on foreign hackers, rogue employees constitute a major threat to organizations.
“The New York Post hack is just the tip of the iceberg,” Howard Ting, chief executive of cybersecurity company Cyberhaven Inc. said in an interview. “We read all the time about external hacking threats, but I think of them as the big pipe that bursts in your neighborhood and causes a flood. The internal threats are the faucets leaking in your neighbor’s home, the hidden problem that is dripping away over time.”
