Well, mostly-kinda-sorta. ;) It's the internal password vault, and there's only one of them, so it's more like "they broke it on purpose and then had to fix it before the company went off the rails." Among the things kept in that vault are credentials that if they age out or aren't regularly refreshed, key internal infrastructure starts grinding to a halt.

But still, "it broke while engineers were staring at it and trying to break it" is a better scenario than "it broke surprisingly while engineers were trying to do something else."
