I mean, this guy is an ass, and deserves some stuff punishment. Some places this could cause them to close up shop.

On the side, what kind of business doesn't have a team doing this stuff with accountability/approvals/controls, and especially for someone being fired.

Some companies are just hopeless.

I can guarantee one of the companies I previously worked for still has the same passwords on everything with their generic shared admin accounts.

They provide Cyber Security services.

Most small to medium sized businesses. Having that shit is expensive. Far more then 200k for a single incident.
