Abstract
They are not new; it is an old-school attack that has been made public due to the nature, quantity, and sensitivity of the data being stolen electronically. Years ago, these attacks occurred on a regular basis but did not have the same labels or stigma they have today. I am not saying they were acceptable back then either. We just need to be realistic about what an Insider Threat is and acknowledge that it has been going on in various forms for hundreds of years.
