Identity theft
Building Services Analytics BG 75/2018, was written by Mitch Layng and published by BSRIA in September 2018. It states:
“Identity theft by individuals, either internal or external to the organisation, can cause big problems if they gain administrator privileges. Often this happens via an unsuspecting user or administrator clicking on a phishing email and giving out login credentials. Once on the network, thieves can plant a virus, steal data, control the system, or eavesdrop on data being sent. Without the proper controls, an unauthorised individual can masquerade as a systems administrator, or rogue devices can connect to the network and mirror a legitimate device.”
