Fujitsu says it found malware on its network, warns of possible data breach

In terms of damage, the worst and most damaging software in the Fujitsu network was called “Horizon”.

After the Horizon scandal, I have little surprise nor compassion that this has happened.

I know it's kind of unrelated to the topic at hand but damn that sent me down a rabbit hole.

All I'll say is:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

This gives rise to the following: Any sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from stupidity.

Here's another one. Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistingushable from malice.

I don't think that statement can be reliably applied if you are doing infosec at a large company.

I think the statement was coined specifically for large companies.

I wonder it’s because of the no-responsibility effect, people try to not be responsible for some systems where there is risk but little reward/fame to be had. Don’t know if it has a name.
