GunVault, SVB 500: Opened With A Gum Wrapper

Ain't that the truth, before I moved into management, I used to work as a PenTester.

After finishing one particular contract, I reported the security risks to the IT head manager and didn't think much more about it, a week or so later, the company I worked for was being sued by the contracting company because 'your employee reported potentially damaging security risks to a non-authorised member of staff'.

A meeting was setup between my manager and and the contracting company, during the meeting I stated that I was 100% sure that the person I reported too was the IT head manager as I'd been dealing with him the entire time. This is when the contracting company revealed that I was right but they weren't happy with me revealing the security flaws in their system in general. My manager tried to explain that that's literally our job but they weren't having any of it.

We actually had to go to court and it was a pretty quick ruling in our favour at they the IT head manager was the official contractor anyway and signed everything off.

Tl;Dr: company once sued us for doing exactly what they employed us to do.
