To me, if your security staff are worrying about something THIS important, someone should be listening!"

I'm not sure that these sorts of after-the-fact discoveries of small warnings are particularly constructive. In a large enough organization, there will usually always be someone concerned about anything; here, it appears that it was "at least one analyst," who had non-specific concerns about malware vulnerability and wanted a more thorough review.
It's easy to go back, after something happens, and say that some small non-specific warning should have prevented it.

This is cool, but - when you do this, put in some line breaks and select plain text.
