Yep. My boss came over to me that morning, asked if I'd seen the news, and basically said that if it turned out that I built the servers wrong, it would be firing time.

I kept my job.

It turned out that the reason that Paris Hilton and so many celebrities got hacked was:

* the password to her cloud storage account was the name of her dog

* once the hackers had access to her cloud storage, they could use that to get authentic phone numbers for half of the entertainment industry, because Paris Hilton was so well-connected socially.

AFAIK, nobody ever managed to get access to the servers illegitimately. The demise of the service was a failed back up of the Hitachi SAN.

Hope you at least got a sincere appology afyer that spurious accusation.

Honestly, unless it was said clearly in jest as their ass was in the same boat, that is such an extremely incompetent management communication.
