IT worker syphons from bank's customers

Bank IT worker charged in $1.1 million fraud - InformationWeek

Unfortunately, this is not a rare occurrence.  What we don't know is how law enforcement detected the fraud.  If a tip came from a victim, it is scary to think of how long this fraud would have lasted if this individual were part of a criminal organization.  Instead of opening accounts, this thief could have just sold the identities in the black market and he would have been much harder to trace.  This is every IT security employee's nightmare.
