My point is that this is not news. They know this. There is no lesson to
learn.

True Lesson: Test your products, especially when you rely on third party
components. Neglecting to do so will lead to similar problems like GFI has
just experienced.

Most of them can be prevented. I would rather focus on that. If GFI had of
tested the updates from BitDefender before allowing their clients to utilize
the update as part of their software package, then this most likely would
have been prevented.

I am sure that they will be a better company as a result of this error.

The mistake - after the fact - is of course, obvious to GFI, but it would
have been prevented had they been more diligent with testing their products
and the components they utilize. Therefore, this aforementioned 'lesson'
'needing learning'.
