I know, they neglected cleaning rosin off. I guess, soldermask shielded it some, but once we touch it and the soldermask gets damaged, this is where it really gets corrosive.
I've seen rosin sipping in a rocker switch of one of our devices and getting the innards green after a few years to the point of the switch stop getting made. I opened it to investigate and this was what I found.
