As it should. They didn’t properly test the update, didn’t stagger its release, and pushed it out on a weekend. They deserve to get sued.

I’d say let this be a lesson to the industry, but I’m sure software vendors will just keep doing the same thing.

    Honestly the amount of sheer negligence, incompetence and lack of oversight is staggering the potential amount of damage this caused on top of the fact that this was his second offense should make this a proper felony that he faces jail time for and the corporation needs to be dissolved, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating but this speaks a lot to the monopolistic nature of mega corporations that are to big to fail… because sometimes they fail.
