Security firms RedOwl and IntSights have noticed a trend of online black market dealers attempting to recruit \u201ccompany employees for insider trading and cashing out stolen credit card numbers.\u201d These dealers run forums on the dark web, which is accessible using the Tor browser. The dealers identify employees that could use for insider trading purposes, and after colluding with the employee to retrieve the insider information, they help forum members make \u201ceducated stock market bets..\u201d Some of the members make more than $5000 a month using this tactic.<\/p>\n
In some cases, the hackers provide the employees with cyber tools to steal data from the company they work for. Security firms have suggested that companies take insider threats more seriously, and that they should implement IT security systems that monitor employees for \u201cunwanted behaviors without violating their privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
