A thing I think most IT people, programmers, and people of other disciplines are familiar with is Murphy's Law.
"What can go wrong, will go wrong"
So we must always prepare contingencies for when things go wrong. We can't avoid risk and live in a bubble, but we must prepare for when things like Dark DAO Dick happen.
But Murphy's Law applies to the Dark DAO Dick as well. Maybe he/she made a mistake. That's my hope.
I'm with you. We all make mistakes.
