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.

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

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.
