False "inbound missile" alert terrifies people in Hawaii

[yourmomma]

I read a detailed account that they were supposed to run a test. They pick whether to run a test or the real thing from a pulldown menu. The options are right next to each other. It isn’t the first test the department has run. But… the person picked the wrong menu choice. Clicked on the wrong one. It wasn’t totally clear to me if they knew immediately or not that they’d clicked on the wrong choice. I’d say that the IT person who coded that and the business person who okayed that design should be in hot water. And maybe whoever has defined the test procedure – if you have something set up like that, maybe you want two sets of eyes on it when the person clicks? Sigh. My project manager spidey senses are very unhappy with this implementation!

It’s harder to log into my bank account.
