Double Penetration Testing...

Double Penetration Testing...

Hello!

Today's adventure comes from a head of IT that was under pressure from the CEO to do something... ..bad. As always anonymity has been used to protect the innocent. Keep sending me your stories.

This is a true story...

*********

CEO: Hello IT Person, are you busy?

Bob: Nope. Just sitting here carefully reconfiguring the firewall in a live environment.

CEO: Great. Well when you've done that, can you turn off the porn filter?

Bob: Err?

CEO: Yes - I'm trying to watch a video on my laptop and it's blocked. 

Bob (Lying): I can't make that change sir. It's restricted to the building, they control the firewall security settings.

CEO: Oh, ok well never mind.

**Bob then continues reconfiguring the firewall and increases security around the CEO's machine. Just in case.***
