In businesses it's a common and bad practice for IT administrators to share accounts. The practice lowers the number of high privilege accounts in a company but by doing so removes the ability of proper accountability, tracking and control. Over the years the government ISC-CERT team as been putting organizational account practices higher on the risk lists.

• Lack of accountability and traceability for user actions if an account is compromised

• Increased difficulty in securing accounts as personnel leave the organization, especially sensitive for users with administrator access

This episode goes into the details and solution on how to get control of your privileged accounts.

Be aware, be safe.
