Re: Strewth! ......

Once upon a time, a long time ago, and a long way away.......a CIO hired white hats to do a penetration test on the IT infrastructure. So...."Yes" people do know that these tests are being done.

*

Sad to say, the CIO's expectation of a clean bill of health was not fulfilled. In fact, ANOTHER member of the Board of Directors (the legal one) was reading a copy of the CIO's email inbox within a few hours.

*

.....and a couple of years later, when the test was repeated....with the same outcome.....(more junior) people were fired out of hand.

*

.....makes one wonder what the state of play in that large corporation might be today!
