Financial markets experienced the second technical glitch in less than a week on Monday morning. Premium stocks displayed prices at a 99 percent discount.
Also, speaking from professional IT experience, there is no such thing as a glitch.
(There always are things that occur and to be analysed and fixed, but the more critical the data is or the transactions are, the more robust things are built/done.)

Things definitely go wrong in production all the lmao, even critical systems can fail
Of course they do.
By bugs (self or dependency), negligence, wrong setup or architecture, for example.
