as I mentioned above. Because you are overly simplifying a complex computer system. You are assuming that there is some way of finding this security breach without knowing there was one within a reasonable amount of time and money. It's like trying to find a needle in the haystack without knowing there is a needle in there. Also, I think it would be the CTO/CIO that would get fired first.
