The company/CTO made the huge mistakes. Indeed. To capitalize on a meme in current circulation, "One does not simply 'accidentally destroy' a production database." When things like this happen, they happen because someone who almost certainly did, in fact, know better -- at some point made a conscious decision to allow them to happen, by consciously cutting corners in certain matters of due diligence that we all know about. Things like backup systems, database roles, and hiring the right people to set up and maintain these things. Not because of something a junior dev did.
