Former IT Administrator Sentenced in Insider Threat Case

Charles E. Taylor of Jacksonville, Arkansas, caused more than $800,000 in damage to his former firm. He changed router passwords and shut down a critical command server, according to the Justice Department. Taylor must undergo three years of supervised release and pay restitution of $834,510. In June 2019, a former Equifax CIO was sentenced to four months in federal prison after being convicted of insider trading after selling his stock in the company after learning about the 2017 data breach. In the 2020 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, analysts found that insider threats now account for about 30% of the breaches and security incidents that they track.”]
