Full title was too long for post: Former Employee Of Technology Company Sentenced To Six Years In Prison For Stealing Confidential Data And Extorting Company For Ransom

The Verge reports that the employee worked for Ubiquiti. He was caught because his IP address was exposed "during an internet outage...[that] disrupted his VPN". I assume he had a software-based VPN/firewall that crashed while he was stealing data from Ubiquiti.
