There's so much wrong with this picture. It's also an alarming trend where organisations are singling out employees for blame (also thinking VW). Were they entirely to blame? Did management put them under pressure to deliver quickly? Were they correctly trained?

Also, this kind of pokes massive holes in their DR processes!

Of course not. If they've made a mistake, someone designed the system that allows this mistake to be made, and to have such consequences. Blaming a person is an enormous lack of ethics and responsibility on BA side - as a whole.
