Yandex sysadmin caught selling access to email accounts

Russian search engine Yandex caught one of its own system administrators red-handed in a routine security audit. The company says it spotted the breach after a routine check by its security team. The costliest insider threat is credential theft, which averages to nearly $875,000 USD to remediate. With the current pandemic and everyone working remotely, spotting insider threats has become more challenging than ever. With a booming demand for employees willing to share company secrets with criminals, it wouldnt be a stretch to expect that cases involving this would be popping up more frequently.”]
