an employee is afaik also liable if he deletes customer data after he's been let go but his credentials hadn't been revoked yet.

shouldn't that be essentially the same thing?

No, because accidentally loading the page at a cached URL that just happens to show you something sensitive takes no intent. Logging into work to delete data to hurt them shows malicious intent.

But in today's legal climate, both people are dirty hackers despite neither actually performing any hacking.
