A corporate worker finds something he thinks is unethical. He then proceeds to release the companies entire database and private communications without reading or analyzing them.

On a side note, you can imagine that this is a disgruntled employee who was failing miserably at his work and had been disciplined for attacking female coworkers (but only if you want to keep the Manning analogy going.)
