I know they are highly regulated and the fines for non-compliance can be high, not to mention the reputational hit if they get it wrong, but wouldn't it be nice if other parts of the IT industry were watching for and fixing this type or error before it affects their users? Kudos to them for spotting it in time that the error didn't make it out into the wide world, although ideally they should have spotted it AND FIXED it before they needed to hide it.
