Insider threats aren’t theoretical anymore—they’re happening inside organizations just like yours.

This week on Cyberside Chats, Sherri and Matt break down major insider cases—from the new CrowdStrike leak and DigitalMint ransomware indictments to Tesla’s multi-year insider problems, and the crackdown on North Korean operatives using stolen identities to get hired.

Attackers are buying, recruiting, and embedding insiders faster than organizations are adapting their defenses.

Watch this week’s full episode for actionable strategies to reduce your organization’s risk.

#Innentäter #Ransomware #Unterhändler: In manchen Fällen helfen selbst die strengsten Zero Trust-Policies nicht, wenn bei einem Ransomware-Vorfall der Verhandler über das Lösegeld selbst mit den Cyberkriminellen unter einer Decke steckt.

So wohl jüngst geschehen bei dem US-amerikanischen #Cybersecurity-Unternehmen "#DigitalMint", bei dem ein Angestellter nicht nur für das betroffene Unternehmen, sondern gleich für sich selbst privat mit verhandelte:
