Destruction of Data
Brief
Destruction of data is when a user destroys data in an effort to evade detection or sabotage a corporation.
Organizations with recent restructurings, terminations, or other major events can often leave employees disgruntled. With access to sensitive data and critical systems, these employees can wreak havoc by disrupting or halting business operations. According to one incident reported by Verizon, an unhappy IT administrator abused service accounts to schedule mass delete commands prior to important deadlines, such as tax season and prior to holiday bonuses1.
