You work for a bank and you have the keys to the vault.  You quit.  The bank doesn&#x27;t immediately change the locks to ensure that their security isn&#x27;t compromised.<p>What happens to the keys after that is in my made up example doesn&#x27;t matter.  The bank is at fault because the bank has a responsibility to ensure the security of their operation, irrespective of how ethically or unethically their former employee acts from that point onwards.<p>A newspaper is an information bank especially in the Internet age.<p>EDIT: I should have specified &quot;the bank is at fault for the total amount of damage&quot; not that the bank is at fault full stop.
