      The helpdesk employee will be the scapegoat for sure, but it sounds like the corporate environment had poor security, which allowed this to happen.

        Precisely. Ultimately the blame falls on company leadership for failing to drive security as a priority.

      Nah. The employee is probably not even an employee. Outsourced worker manning the helpdesk, based in Bangalore, perhaps. Haha.
