How do you prove that Bob leaked the information? How do you prove that Abe told Bob? How do you prove that FB was the source of information to Abe? How do you demonstrate that FB, Abe, and Bob did not take all good faith efforts to keep the information secure?

How do you show any actual damages?

Data watermarks, small changes (little tiny bits) that allows to track the leaks.

Also audit logs, you know who has what, etc. The topic has been hotly discussed with GDPR as the leaks have rather harsh consequences (beside being dragged through the mud, erm newspapers).

All that presumably is figured out before signing a agreement. Thats the whole point of an agreement vs pinky promise.
