This happened because of
1. a total failure of, or a total lack of internal processes and systems
2. Zero efforts at auditing or even basic checks to see if anything appeared amiss
3. an entire galaxy of incompetence by all involved
Absolutely no way any of this catastrophic failure can be explained away by mistakes or other minor items.
Global TLS Intermediate CA incident: We’ve updated our incident page with how it happened, who is affected (one US customer ecosystem), what’s not affected, and what we’re putting in place. We will publish the root cause once our investigation is complete.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
eMudhra minimizes the scope by claiming only "one US customer ecosystem" is affected. In reality, 8 of its CA certificates had catastrophically weak private keys (one being simply the number 4), allowing anyone to forge trusted HTTPS certificates for any website on the internet.blog.google/security/prote…

The last of over 5,000 reinforced concrete segments has been lifted into position for the Chipping Warden 'green tunnel' - marking a major milestone for one of the longest 'cut and cover' tunnels on the project 👇🎥.
Set to stretch for one-and-a-half miles, the tunnel is being built inside a cutting, with the earth put back on top afterwards, helping to blend the high-speed railway into the landscape and cut noise and disturbance for people living nearby.

This misinformation has been repeated widely. Claims that a battery powered toothbrush 'exploded' and tripped the electrics in the house, even though this is a battery powered item which wasn't being charged at the time.
Some reports claim that 'flames travelled up the wall' and then somehow totally destroyed the extractor in the ceiling. Some include more photos than others, and some include the same photos with the ceiling damage conveniently cropped out.
Given that the toothbrush is largely intact with only superficial damage there is no evidence of any explosion. The glass mirror isn't cracked either, which if something really had 'exploded' it surely would have been. Nothing in the images supports flames travelling up the wall either.
The most likely explanation is that the extractor fan located in the ceiling failed causing a fire there, this tripped the electrics, and burning molten plastic dripped down onto the shelf below where the toothbrush is located. Most of the fire damage is on the ceiling.

Companies House has put out a statement confirming that, for five months, every company in the UK was vulnerable to the simple exploit we identified on Friday. It enabled anyone in the world to view and change their company details.

Replace 'technical issue' with 'RED ALERT CATASTROPHIC SECURITY FAILURE'
This is not a minor problem that was overlooked.
This is a total failure starting from whoever coded that mess, right through reviews, verification, testing and whoever authorised that shambles to be implemented on a production system.
Our WebFiling service is currently unavailable due to a technical issue.
We’re working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
