For today’s disconcerting news, a new report from an Austin, Texas-based security firm finds that incentivized or disgruntled employees don’t find it hard to sell their work passwords. According to SailPoint, one in five employees will give in to this and they won’t even ask for that big of an amount with some willing to give it away for less than $1,000 USD. Another one of the findings of the report is about two-thirds of employees share passwords and credentials with coworkers with 16 percent only using a single password for all their credentials. Companies aren’t good either with locking a former employees’s account after letting them go. The report says 42 percent of those who responded could access their corporate accounts and data even after termination.
