Are employees to blame for rise in insider access threats? This new study claims so
Flashpoint research found roughly 34 daily dark web posts related to insider threats between July 2025 and 2026, with July 2026 alone seeing 12,653 posts. Notably, 75% originated from insiders actively selling access rather than criminals recruiting them. Telecom, retail, and finance were primary targets. Flashpoint warns that as security software improves, attackers increasingly exploit employees, recommending organizations monitor dark web forums and encrypted platforms for credential trading.
