We run this security-sensitive service but only keep the logs for 7 days😔

Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but a good example on why at companies I always want as much log retention as possible.

@stacksmashing people are very often privacy aware and angry with entities saving logs for more than a few days (or at all) UNTIL the entity was compromised and then they are suddenly considered morons for not saving way more logs... :'-)

@stacksmashing nodds in agreement

To me it seems either criminal incompetence or as @stman would say, malicious intent...
