This guy wasn't working in the defense industry, and he wasn't in a sensitive enough position to warrant any kind of clearance.

I'm sure someone talked to him about it, but it's unlikely he got any sort of serious training.

He supposedly talked to someone who worked their way into his life over several years about non-sensitive, non-classified material related to local politics. I imagine he would have been more careful/aware if the "friend" was asking about classified information, or if his "friend" hadn't done it very slowly.
