CIFAS
New findings from the UK’s fraud prevention service, Cifas, reveal a worrying shift in attitudes towards insider‑enabled fraud, with 13% of employees saying they have either sold their company login details to a former colleague, or know someone who has, in the past 12 months. For organisations, the normalisation of credential sharing significantly increases exposure to insider threat, cyber, and financial crime, by providing criminals with a trusted route into internal systems. Cifas’ Workplace Fraud Trends report shows that 13% of respondents also believed selling access to company systems was ‘justifiable’. While three quarters (75%) said the act was completely unjustified, the level of acceptance suggests a growing complacency around internal controls and staff responsibility.
