Unfortunately, it is all too true.
Someone will have already done a back of an envelope risk analysis and reckoned the cost of changing employment practice/organization/systems exceeds the probability*cost of a repeat failure. They will then be advising the CFO that the costs of change outweigh the potential cost of inaction as there is a low probability of recurrence. The do nothing option will be taken with suitable PR campaign reports fed to the press about inquiries by experts that will take long enough for even PPRUNE to forget. Luckily the IT support reports to a head of Communications with full PR experience so this will be the preferred option.
