Albanian IT staff charged with negligence over cyberattack
Personal lawsuits against BoD and C-Suite members are happening more frequently when a cyber-attack impacts business operations and shareholder value.
This story (linked below Read More) shows that even IT staff can be held accountable for negligence, and arrested, when a cybersecurity breach occurs.
TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albanian prosecutors on Wednesday asked for the house arrest of five public employees they blame for not protecting the country from a cyberattack by alleged Iranian hackers.
Prosecutors said the five IT officials of the public administration department had failed to check the security of the system and update it with the most recent antivirus software.
They are accused of “abuse of post,” which can attract a prison sentence of up to seven years.
