Comment on Fannie Mae Logic Bomb Would Have Caused Weeklong Shutdown

Comments

I'm curious if Wired's account is to be taken as the literal truth (I know, bear with me). Why is someone being fired for a single scripting error? What the hell is QA for?

More-over how stupid does Fanny Mae management be to fire someone who can write and deploy logic bomb that meticulous in half a day? Let alone let any of their staff have that level of data center access.

I'm sure we aren't seeing the full picture here.

Among their lack of oversight problems, this seems to be one of the smallest.

Or management oversights is symptomatic of Fanny Mae generally.
