This is basically what happened here in Sweden, when millions of phone call recordings to our national medical help line, were found to be accessible on the internet because, and I quote the company responsible:

"Someone plugged the internet cord into the hard drive"

But they claimed that the dammage was minimal because, and I again quote from the company responsible:

"You would need to perform a command movement to slip in through the back way"

Which the company claimed would be impossible for a normal person.

In truth, you would just need to enter the correct URL, and then get access.

Both of these expressions were instantly made part of the Swedish IT lexicon as insanely funny and incompetent expressions.
