More likely it means the business analysts who designed and
implemented these fiascos don't have a clue --- the buesiness designs
and business cases behind the implementations ar faulty to begin with.

The internet was never designed or meant to be a robust business
deliver medium. Security experts have been telling comapnies for many
years that the internet is a pooor choice for implementing critical
systems -- but the bean counters and the trendy-know-nothing-IT-masses
have all fallen for the hype and charged headlong witghout a clue or
care...

Place the blame where it belongs -- faulty application designs,
clueless programmers and business analysts... we security people have
been telling them for ages what the problems -- and solutions -- are,
but no one wants to listen....
