Self interest? 2008-05-29
Anonymous

The phrase "self interest" usually implies he expects to profit from his action. (fta: "But he says his actions were also fueled by a healthy dose of self-interest" - reporter paraphrases the ex-employee)

But then the self interest is revealed as concern for his personal data on the store server. Poor choice of phrase by the reporter.
