Please stop overusing the word "very." Forcing your readers to stumble over excess verbiage does them a disservice. Thank you.
The word "very" is used once per paragraph, except the final paragraph, where it is used twice. Do you seriously have nothing else to contribute?
I "very much" misread your comment and thought you were commenting on the article. It is now "very" obvious you were commenting on the grammar Nazi above. Very much agree with your sentiment.
It's more like 6 times in 5 paragraphs. It makes it look like either the author is straining to make his points or that he's padding out the piece to meet some minimum word count. In addition, the post is basically a call to action for those of us overseeing security. Do we really need to be treated like children with condescending phrases about "very vulnerable" parts of our infrastructure and how "it's very easy to forget things like domain registrars or hosted email providers?" This kind of writing would never make it into a respectable publication.
This exact problem happens often, unfortunately. It happened to me also. My former business partner hired a tech and provided him admin access to our domains. Then, I ran into a problem with my partner, who disappeared. The tech took over the business domains and is now selling them for $20k USD and refuses to give them back. I filed a complaint with the Rgistrar and provided government documents showing that I owned the company with the same name as the domains and even copies of old emails showing that domain. Their response was simply to file a complaint with ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). Unfortunately, this can cost upwards of $2,600, depending on the tld. All that for a domain that costs some $12 a year. Good luck afterwards in trying to recuperate the fees from the thief.

The problem for all companies and especially smaller businesses is they do not vet their employees to a level commensurate with the level of trust and access to be placed on them.
Personnel security is the last thing businesses think of and never dig deep enough to determine if the person is a bad hire or potential "Trusted Insider". Government have a classification system in place and classify resources appropriately and vet people who have a need to know need to access. Businesses needs to bite the bullet and do the same, potential employees may not like the idea of a background check and interviews about their personal habits that may make them a risk, however if done correctly and with appropriate protection mechanisms they will accept it if they want the job.
