What was Knight Capital's security problem?

Last year when KC shot themselves in the face, they were running trading algos that hadn't been well tested. When dropped into production, things blew up fairly quickly.

I probably should have left it off the list, it's more of a compliance/procedural issue than purely infosec.

They had nothing to do with security. The GP was stretching a fair bit to try and make a point.

They had an issue with deploying....supposedly:) They still haven't come out and said exactly what the issue was.
