CERT just posted this podcast that talks about the different type of attacks that come with insider threats. They break it down into three different kind of attacks:

  • Fraud
  • Identity Theft - Stealing Confidential Information
  • Sabotage
  • They also look at some of the specific attacks like setting up backdoor accounts or time and logic-bombs that wipe out suspicious log activity.

    CERT has an entire section dedicated to insider threat.
