is it true you can be sued if you are a computer IT guy and data leaks or the networks infrastructure is hacked with data stolen?

I'm going to sue you if you keep posting on my ATOT.

Of course it is...it's going on right now at my place of employment.

Yes, you can be sued for the trolling you're doing. You should stop asap.

off the top of my head: probably not unless outright negligence or malfeasance is involved.

Yes. People who screw up get sued for damages.

Are you being sued as an individual, or just the company you work for?

It is unlikely unless there was negligence involved. Especially if there is more than 1 IT person, you may have a blame game then, but I doubt anyone is getting sued over it (maybe fired though).
