Heartbleed, Meltdown, Spectre, log4j etc all cost the taxpayer more than this event.
- Quarrelsome 4y agobut more than 2008? My nation has gone through 15 years of deep public spending cuts as a "consequence" of 2008 and the resulting deficit (albeit it was likely just used an excuse to implement anti-public-spending political ideology). Also I don't remember any of those events dipping into the public purse but rather being commercial liabilities.
