- Title
Third of IT admins admit snooping with privileged password.
- Abstract
The article reports that a third of information technology (IT) administrators confessed using top-level passwords to pry into confidential or sensitive information, according to a survey conducted by password-management vendor Cyber-Ark. Almost 50 percent of respondents admitted that they have sneaked up on systems for information not relevant to their jobs. Also cited are the things IT professionals would try to take with them if they were told they would be fired the next day, including a list of all privileged passwords.
