With all the data breaches we've been seeing, we might be assuming the
intent is "identity theft." Here is another reason, it might be
occuring:

Yep the problem is big. Note that E&Y laptops were stolen, but corrupt
employees stories seldom become public.

...also about 2 years ago there was a Israeli company that designed a MS
trojan *just* to infect their rival. It broke out in the news a little
while ago. I am sure you can find it if you search...

Look recently at the last Word and Excel vulnerabilities. They were
discovered late because the author was specifically targeting a couple of
companies rather than releasing it on the World. Now his/her motive could
be many things: revenge, corporate espionage, etc, etc

...but yes, corporate spying is quite lucrative...

Just as losses due to security seldom get publicity (more now for a
subset when identity is involved) most of the espionage type activity
is never mentioned in public.
That makes the How big impossible to guage.
