88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off
narramissic writes "According to identity management firm Cyber-Ark's annual 'Trust, Security & Passwords' survey, a whopping 88% of IT administrators would steal CEO passwords, customer database, research and development plans, financial reports, M&A plans and the company's list of privileged passwords if they were suddenly laid off.

Me (bored): "Uh, alright."
Him: "Can you outline for me the steps you take to ensure the security of your IT systems?"
Me: "Absolutely! First, I do not discuss my security configurations with unknown people. Have a nice day." and then hung up on him.
They mostly come at night... mostly.
