Brolls31556yI was once sent a sensitive financial database on a usb drive in the post.
Their DBA didn’t trust sending it online, so decided to use an encrypted thumb drive.
Didn’t see the problem with writing the password on a sticky note and putting that in the envelope too.
Also the same guy / team that told me my sql script didn’t work because it said “table already exists” - the idiot had pasted the script twice.
This guy worked for one of the largest petrochem firms in existence... just let that sink in. -

No real screening done because he had a doctorate in mathematics and taught compsci at a university.
We had to show him how to get his keyboard working.
6 months and tens of thousands later I had to redo everything in a matter of weeks.
