I know somebody in the network security space, and their life is mostly consumed by fear of this happening all the time. A hacker with resources and time can almost always find a way in, and on top of that there are companies with 10s of thousands of employees and only one of them needs to click a bad link to set off a real sh*t-storm.
As for Suncor, it's hard to find a good time for layoffs... but this was a bad time for layoffs. Not to say that's related to this, but it makes for a morale swamp.
