So this was a whole shit show that as of now has cost me 2 days of investigation, clean-up, mitigation, will likely cost me more time & also feels extremely crappy all in all.

I'm just glad I didn't base any *really* important decisions on those manipulated numbers, that would have been REALLY bad.

Now I have to live with knowing that most of the growth I saw the past 2 years was likely faked, which feels quite terrible tbh. Feels like not doing a good job after all.

@bear_lab Thank you for your words of encouragement! I'm still angry and sad that someone did this, but I am also not going to allow this thing to be the final straw.

Currently trying my best at distracting myself and doing stuff I enjoy (just finished the textblock of another book), come Monday I'll go back to some more investigation and prevention.

@foosel Human can be very disappointing unfortunately. I think if you climb tomorrow you might pass something you couldn't before! 💪
