Consultant deletes client data with script, blames bug, gets away scot-free

A consultant writing a test automation script accidentally deleted an entire container of client data instead of just one target video file. Rather than admitting the error, he logged a support ticket and let the client assume a bug in their SaaS platform was responsible. After a week, the client restored from backup and apologized for their "haywire" script, allowing the consultant to escape blame entirely. The tale is another installment in The Register's "Who, Me?" series of professionals surviving their own mistakes.
