Yeah this is beyond ridiculous to blame anything or anyone else.

I mean accidently letting lose an autonomous non-tested non-guarailed tool in my dev environment... Well tough luck, shit, something for a good post mortem to learn from.

Having an infrastructure that allowed a single actor to cause this damage? This shouldn't even be possible for a malicious human from within the system this easily.
