This is going to turn out it was a hack in several months right?
Won't take that long, security researchers are already decompiling the update to see if it was malicious or incompetence.
You won't find the incompetence in the software no matter what.
If you fail to assume that the software contains issues -- if you fail to understand that your software is made by humans and humans make mistakes, not because they're bad but because they're human -- and if you fail to implement mechanisms to feel gracefully with inevitable failures, THAT is the incompetence.
Failures are systemic.
Oh yes I make those failures myself, testing and staging and limited release schedules save my human failures from breaking the world
