This is on the level of the Adobe Creative Cloud snafu about a year ago, where anything put in the topmost/foremost folder of all folders on your computer disappeared forever after a very short period of time.
A user in my group was panicked as all their latest work (important stuff) was just disappearing.
Found out they simply made a folder labeled something like ‘ LATEST_WORK’ (note the three spaces in front of the spelling) on their Desktop and was putting their latest files there as a quick access. They named it that way so it would aways be at the top of any list of folders.
Sure enough, they put files in there and down the “Memory Hole” they went. Literally!
Not knowing WHY it was doing that, I told them to please use another folder and leave that one empty until I could figure out what was wrong and causing it. Shortly after that, Adobe announced the problem, how to identify it, and patched it. Geez.
And now Apple announces that they key to the front door is right under the welcome mat! GAH!!!
That’s like

level of bad.
