Worrying news for IT professionals – not to mention anyone who trusts a big company with their data – as a survey found that one in seven employees would be prepared to sell their company password.
Many were prepared to sell their password for as little as $150, and the survey went on to note that more than 20% of employees routinely share passwords with each other. 56% also re-use their passwords across personal and corporate accounts. Such practices on the part of employees could play a significant role in data breaches and hacks – like Sony Pictures’ attack in 2014.
What password alternatives are there?
