Sounds very similar to Optus breach in Australia.

This was a US company. Another fun thing that happened while I was there is that they had to throw out a major codebase and start from scratch because of security compromises, i.e. people working on it that shouldn't have been allowed to.

I suppose in the end they achieve a kind of security with this behavior, but it would be a lot better to avoid such incidents in the first place - which would be perfectly possible, with good decision-making.
