Either I have some inside knowledge of that exact thing happening and I know the company (not saying who) or this is probably a common things that happened to a lot of major companies (more likely). To be fair, I do not have privy on how far it went and how much it cost before they realize the problem, and it may not have been this much. Which further suggests it's a thing everywhere.
