When I have looked into this type of issue for my unique addressing
some did trace back to back-end db hacks (e.g., adobe), but I found
that the most likely culprit was the 3rd-party bulk mailer that
handled the organization's marketing mail. It could be a non-zeroed
disk thrown into the trash or an inside job, but it almost always
traced back to one or two bulk mailing companies.
