The main cause of security breaches cited by the website shrm.org, in reference to a CompTIA study, is not an unknown error or a forgotten bug, in 52% of cases the cause is human error.

The specific nature of the error can vary, but it is usually due to the use of weak passwords; sending sensitive or personal information to the wrong recipient; sharing or sharing password or account information and systems; and failure to identify an attack based on social engineering or phishing.
