News < Back Security : Cyber Attacks : : Quasi Insider Threat Has Been Disclosed
Jonathan Sander, Strategy & Research Officer, STEALTHbits Technologies states,“The most interesting aspect of the eBay breach is the quasi insider threat that was disclosed. The statement isn’t completely clear, but it seems that the attackers got the user data by going through compromised employee credentials. Of course, that’s the same basic story as Target, the NSA, and so many others. People focus on the loss of user data, but the real story is how easy it is to get tons of user data with just one or two employee passwords. The official eBay statement includes the good advice to not only change your eBay password but also passwords on other sites where you may have used the same password as eBay. It leaves me wondering if some eBay employee may have used the same password for their corporate account on some other site and left that insider account exposed as a result.
