The point about insiders is often overlooked but just as plausible as an outright hack. A rogue sys-admin or coder who is trusted and has access to file-systems and DBs can leak or sell data and might even get away with it without ever being caught.

A dishonest security admin or consultant for LinkedIn might have had no traction in convincing managers that they should pay him to upgrade the security system. I can see rogue programmers contriving leaks like this just to give themselves more work.
