Expensive Mistakescoopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

I use to be a security manager for a credit card company.sounds like "mank of merica" We lost $36 million in 1 day because someone in seattle took down a firewall on a unix system , and we had a fair few script kiddies put "cunter" strike servers on it. needless to say we had to shut the whole network down and every transaction that day was cancelled. At this point I had to fly from chester to new york to give our password to them so we could load the backups, we lost a fair bit of money that day.
