D10 Tech/Software Company Disasters

No corporations were harmed in the assembly of these disasters - ahaha - No. But, names were removed to protect the guilty and one is exaggerated.

1) Patch deletes and overwrites all customers' documents and personal files.
2) Content hosting company has account creation safeguards removed, bots add illegal content, remedial measures delete vast majority of original content.
3) IT department manually runs an automated job causing D100 million dollars to be pulled out of customers bank accounts twice.
4) Bank creates millions of fake accounts in actual users names to fraudulently inflate their numbers.
5) Developers forget to comment out development constant which overrides real time sensor data from safety systems.
6) Investing software bug prevents stock orders from going through until they all go through at once, crashing the stock market
7) Patch installs cryptocurrency mining software on all computers, with pre-configured wallet going to corporate rivals
8) Enterprise level corporate spytech malfunctions and instead reveals corporation's own secrets to rivals/public
9) Obscure but critical software failure renders all a company's tech products useless for several days.
10) Social media service hacked, installs firmware backdoors on all clients. Roll 1D6 to see who is infected:

  • 1-2: 1D10 million individual customers, 
  • 3-4: 2D10 Major companies effecting D100 Million individuals; 
  • 5: critical national infrastructure, 
  • 6: government's most secure networks.
