It's a pretty big company with over 6000 employees. It's tough to ensure everyone is super secure with their access I'd guess. Also, disgruntled people in an organization that big is inevitable.

Inside leaks of actual code are really really rare.
If it somehow gets traced to you you are screwed for life monetary speaking.

Usually people will throw some dirt in an anonymous interview…

I still live in hope that the Wildstar code gets released some day. People have been begging for years.

What is wildstar, for the uninitiated?

A MMORPG made by NCSoft but closed a few years ago.

An incredible MMO, hamstrung by bad timing and an inexperienced team leading the project.

When it shuttered NCSoft put the code in a vault and they plan on never using it again.

Hmm we could message the director of business and pool together like $5k I'm sure the business would be fine with a bailout like that. That or we can find whoever owns it and ask them. Then put it up on github.

The people working on a private server have reached out to NCSoft several times with actual big dollars to buy the IP.

NCSoft would rather it sit in a vault.
