T 5.16 Threat posed by internal staff during
maintenance/administration work
To their own advantage, or as a favour for colleagues, internal staff might,
during maintenance or administration work, try to modify privileges (e.g.
international dialling authorisation) or to activate user facilities. System
crashes can be caused through ignorance. Also, improper handling of
hardware components might result in their destruction. In addition,
maintenance staff may have full or restricted access to the stored data (read
and write).
