The Compromised Consultant (Code and Intellectual Property Thief)
Your trusted consultant gets into financial trouble after losing a large amount of money. This consultant is targeted by an organized crime network because of his technical position of trust, which is publicly accessible via their LinkedIn profile. The blackmailer may pose as a technical recruiter and convince that person to steal sensitive PII information that can be sold through the black market. After your consultant finds vulnerable information to exploit, he will become more confident and aggressive about stealing information. Eventually he will become sloppy and prepare to resign to avoid being caught.
Indicators: May exhibit signs of financial instability (i.e., gambling) outside of work environment, abnormally high level of downloads or copies of documents not associated with role or department.
