Updated 5-19-2018.  This post originally contained and linked to two news reports involving alleged insider breaches.  The second case, unrelated to the one above, was dismissed entirely, and the person named asked this site to remove the coverage as it was unfairly harming reputation.  In light of the fact that he sent proof of dismissal of the case and that the original source is also removing its news coverage, DataBreaches.net has decided to remove mention of it, too.
