    If you think this article is about laying blame on consumer then you are mistaken

    It doesn't even need to be employees intentionally leaking data to competition for money etc. If an employee unintentionally lost employers device: laptop, smartphone etc with data then it constitutes a data breach. No need for an evidence of criminal behavior is further needed to assess that data breach happened.
