I was working on a quite easy and basic feature of an Economy system and the only advanced part was a really old legacy module that had two functions with really similar and bad names, something like cr_EDC_use_ETM20 and cr_EDC_use_ET20. My ide auto spelled me the wrong function and I managed to send several invoices to over 60k clients. Invoices with an infinite amount to pay. Luckily we had rollback systems, so clients never noticed. Later our old-school legacy programmer refactored the module with names that made sense to the younger generation :P
