As you say, details are hard to come by. There are hints that the data
was stolen from their payroll operations, but no clues as to insider or
outsider involvement. 1 in 7 of their employees were apparently
affected - it would be very interesting to know if these were clumped
from within one of the various maintenance organisations which were
brought in-house.
