If you're telling the truth from your point of view, I'm sure, that you
just didn't realize, what was going on.

I don't believe, that a person, who is working in our industry, can avoid
to face one single compromized system. Even if you're doing everything
perfect all the time (and I don't believe, that persons may exist, who are
doing no mistakes or errors at all), then you'll see compromized systems
as a result of PEBKAC and social engineering.
