[Year 12 SofDev] Logic error with a big cost...

[Robert Hind]

Nice article. Could also be interpreted as Optus ripping off its customers by treating SurePage as an opt-out feature and forgetting to tell customers about it :-) and then using the "software coding error" as a convenient excuse when they were caught out. Nasty suspicious me.

  This article can demonstrate to our students - even at this late stage about how much a logic error can cost a company if not detected picked up
