This article was going around last week.  Pretty interesting study, but geez who are these people?  Not only would 88% of them steal passwords and sensitive information but 88% of them actually admitted they would.  Or do you think this survey was somehow corrupted by untruthful IT staff?

The target information included CEO passwords, customer database, research and development plans, financial reports, M&A plans and the company’s list of privileged passwords.The research also revealed that, of that 88 percent, a third would take the privilege password list to gain access to valuable documents such as financial reports, accounts, salaries and other privileged information.
