https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news-features/preventing-recruitment-insider/
Since the COVID crisis of 2020, malicious cyber actors functioning as insider threats have posed a risk for companies according to the US National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) and National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF). Disgruntled insiders can use ransomware, phishing and malware to cause harm anywhere employees use the Internet and computers in order to gain access to data, control of networks, or to steal money. This is important because sensitive information and funds could be stolen by malicious actors from within a company. One possible solution is for companies to monitor forums, social media, disgruntled employees, and people under financial stress who work for them more closely to be aware of potential bad actors.

However, in the last decade, the implementation of Web
