Remember when a company's head of security was fired and prosecuted for ordering a pentest against his own company, which is a normal thing that good heads of security do?
running unauthorised pentests does indeed get people fired. Along with getting their managers in hot water for letting their pentesters be loose cannons. And if they're attacking someone else while on company time, the company can be in serious legal trouble too.
it is rather customary for heads to roll when critical data is leaked as part of an insider attack, especially when said attack was enabled by negligent practices.
Just incase you've forgotten that randomly attacking people and leaking data is this kid's MO.
