How would this hypothesis explain that? --- Metadialogue: John Watson: "I deduce that someone changed the dev config source so that it uses the production config values." Sherlock Holmes: "My dear Watson, while that is sensible, it seems to me that the balance of probability leans towards their production instance also having the development access credentials." --- Just my way of saying, I think this case isn't as shut and closed as most comments (including parent) imply. I personally find the /etc/host mapping a likelier hypothesis but even that can't explain how different credentials failed to prevent this. Without more details coming from a proper investigation, we are just piling assumptions on top of assumptions. We are making bricks, without enough clay, as Holmes would say.
