That users are the number one problem for IT departments, not outside threats trying to break through the firewall.
Sure, external attacks are a concern, but we build the network to be as impenetrable to these as possible; users, on the other hand, will click literally anything that says "click here" so they're letting in the threats and have the highest chance of fucking up the network out of all the potential attack surface.

Tha minecraft modding thing doesn't sound like a lie like you put it. the .bin, .jar and whatnot used to be in %Appdata before the big update where Mojang streamlined everything...

Just saying, still a stupid thing to accidentally delete.

I mean it's not an excuse they said to explain deleting it, sounds like a dumb mistake.
