These articles are always a little frustrating, especially to those of us who aren't familiar with data management on that scale. For example, how was the breach carried out? How did the company know it occurred? Was there something the company should have done, but didn't?
I understand why those details don't make it into the media, but it's hard not to be curious about it.

Most companies have little to no security other than "no one will think to request this url". Could be a past or present employee who knows all the unprotected systems and wanted to make some extra money selling the data.
