Do people get fired for making these kind of mistakes?

Probably not, unless it's one of a series of similar issues. Hiring and training people is expensive, and everyone screws up sometimes.

Firing people for a single mistake is for fast food restaurants, not for billion dollar tech companies.

They didn't make a mistake; they hopefully learned a huge lesson. It's hard finding people already having learned this lesson, so you shouldn't fire over this incident alone.
