If you cut costs enough, including in personnel and testing, stupidity is caused by malice. Not saying that’s exactly what happened here but we’ve all definitely seen the effects when corpos decide to lay off thousands and their capabilities suffer.
While I like that saying in the context of not knowing whether it is malice or stupidity, it does need the context of 'Unless you know there is malice…"

Malicious people do stupid things too.
I think it was the same intern that accidentally told Hawaii it was about to be hit by an icbm
I always included obliviousness in this as well. But one could argue that’s just another form of stupidity… 🤷
