According to what I have heard at my former employer that supplied the trading platform to Mizuho, there was indeed a warning, and the user dismissed it. This was relevant when Mizuho tried to recover some of its losses from us.

And that’s where effective logging can also shine, confirming that the warning message was triggered and was explicitly dismissed.

The key trick is to know where logging can best CYA, so as to keep it down to a full roar instead of generating gigabytes of noise.
