While they're claiming it's not a cyber crime thing, it looks like a single person was able to do this with a faulty script.. that in itself is a bit distressing.

It sounds like they've got a serious process problem.

With Easter approaching I might call it "All your eggs in one basket", and no matter how strong, big and well built that basket is we never can be sure there is not an Easter Egg hiding in there, waiting for us.   Although Atlassian states it was not a Cyber Security issue, rom a Cyber Security standpoint I will also point out that there are more and more foxes trying to get at the henhouse.

They're talking about some customers still being offline for two weeks!
