T 5.69 Higher risk of theft from a working place at home

The working place at home is usually not protected to the same extent as the working place in a company or agency. Due to elaborate measures such as security doors and guards, the risk of intruders in the building is far less than in private premises.

Burglaries of private residences usually have financial gain as the motive. Electronic equipment stolen in this process is usually intended for sale to third parties. Possibilities of using stolen information for monetary gain include extortion of the affected company or forwarding of the data to competitors.
