Short answer : Yes.  You would not believe the ratio of which people 
have brought "malicious" activity to my attention over the years, that 
turns out to be a crappy piece of software, a badly configured network, 
or just a plain broken business process entirely.

It's really about connecting the dots though.. when you look at things 
in isolation, it's all too easy to make the wrong conclusion; follow 
things through, find the sources. "When you have eliminated the 
impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth"
