Can't be mad at the speed and outcome of the response. I'm sure they would have preferred the incident not be published at all...
In any case, we've all had "oh shit!" moments before. I'd love to think this would be a wake up call about quality control, but Verizon is just so freakin' big, that I can't imagine the number of vendors that have contributed to the amount of code Verizon is running at any given time. I can't imagine the chore of vetting it all at delivery time, let alone having to go back now, realizing how bad that bug was and assuming other sloppiness likely exists.
