I used to work at British Telecom and they where very hot on this issue. BT Security do not fuck about when they investigate this sort of crime.
Developers with wide access to data had to be positively vetted to TS level.
A few years ago there was a contract killer that suborned BT employees to find the address of some one in the witness protection schemes parents new address and killed them. The people concerned are doing 10-20 years for conspiracy.
