I'm not previously familiar with Hudson Rock, nor how "standard" disclosures around this work, but identifying the breached employee felt like an extremely shitty move to me. If a single infected laptop of a sales engineer (i.e. not even an admin with extensive access rights) resulted in a breach this large, the root cause problem is not the sales engineer - and I'd note that Hudson Rock says as much in their article.
Like I would be very humiliated to have a system under my care that had this problem.
Oh, what's that. How did we change our hiring process to avoid hiring a problem again?
Sorry, my phones buzzing and I need to go.

Although obviously yes the problem isn't with hiring, it's with the system where a what should be fairly untrusted device shouldn't be able to exfiltrate a ton of data without setting a flag off somewhere.
