Workers Stealing Company Data

February 23rd, 2009 Rob Douglas

Six out of every 10 employees stole company data when they left their job last year, said a study of US workers.

The survey, conducted by the Ponemon Institute, said that so-called malicious insiders use the information to get a new job, start their own business or for revenge.

“They are making these judgements based out of fear and anxiety,” the Institute’s Mike Spinney told BBC News.

“People are worried about their jobs and want to hedge their bets,” he said.
