A rogue employee would have been very easy to detect and that employee would have known this. The core network infrastructure involved is extremely sensitive and is quite unlikely to be accessible in a break in.

Also IIRC an employee was posting on Reddit saying the incident started shortly after a network update was posted this morning.

When you know more about the tech and systems involved a mistake seems infinitely more likely than sabotage.
