Well yes, there is that.  I did say a *past* workplace; if memory
serves, that was the same company where they found a keylogger on the
head accountant's machine - and just removed it and considered it done;
in particular, they kept running Windows, they didn't do any "how did
this happen and how can we keep it from happening again" investigation,
they didn't do very much of anything in consequence.

You can guess, maybe, why I'm not naming the company. :)
