An inside job threat refers to the risk of malicious activity originating from an individual with authorized access to an organization’s systems or assets. This internal vulnerability can lead to data theft, system sabotage, or unauthorized asset transfers. Such threats are particularly challenging to detect and mitigate due to the perpetrator’s privileged position.

High-profile incidents often prompt platforms to review and strengthen their employee vetting, access controls, and monitoring systems. News reports sometimes detail investigations into internal actors responsible for significant digital asset losses.
