Have you ever wondered what happens to an employee's account when they leave a company? You might think they’re immediately deactivated, but that’s not always the case. Imagine this: someone leaves the organization, but their account lingers on—active, unnoticed, and vulnerable. Scary, right? This is what we call cyber ghosting, and it’s becoming a major cybersecurity challenge. Ghost accounts—those left active after employees depart—create a hidden risk. Hackers love these dormant accounts because they’re perfect for sneaking into a company’s network without raising alarms. And given the rise in cyber threats, including 500 million attacks reported in India in just the first quarter of 2024 (Source: Indian Express), it’s a threat no organization can afford to ignore.   Why Are Ghost Accounts Such a Big Deal? Imagine a hacker finds a ghost account that still has access to critical systems. They quietly infiltrate, disguised as a
