Misuse of Privilege Is the New Corporate Landmine

Chapter Chapter 2 in Preventing Good People from doing Bad Things, 2011, pp 23-40 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In organizations, it is a sad and harsh reality that trusted individuals are getting away with too many things. For example, at HSBC, a systems administrator named Falcini had unfettered root access. And what did he do with those credentials? He stole thousands of customer files and then tried to sell them to banks and tax authorities. This is becoming an increasing trend, with more and more breaches coming to light each month.
