You are exactly correct. Of course, I'm not going to say which part of your message that refers to. :laugh:

So take a look at Our security auditor is an idiot. How do I give him the information he wants?[^]. It smacks of a new broom out of his depth (the Auditor) to me. No way he'd get any of the available information from me.

I agree with what others have said: this looks really suspicious. Anyone who has any experience as a security auditor knows that passwords are typically hashed. We had a security audit done two years ago, and the auditor verified that everything was secure. We wouldn't have given him that kind of unencrypted data anyway: under the policies that I helped to write, I would have been immediately fired. Not only did our auditor not mind the policy, he strongly approved.

Wow... Anyone who even CONSIDERS sending that kind of data to an external party, even a contractor, should be fired on the spot. If the company has any kind of security, they shouldn't even be CAPABLE of fulfilling those requests... It's a pity he didn't get the go-ahead to post the name of the auditing company, because that really is blacklist-worthy...

Oh I'll give him the information alright, but first he has to find a bucket of steam, a jade monkey, Left handed spatula (I'm south paw, regular ones hurt the wrist), cheesecake glue, and a raise. Any part of the security auditor's request should be against company policy, further more, if they are insecure of the passwords, change the permissions, set everyone's account to reset, send a e-mail stating new policy, not all in this order (even if it was, people wouldn't catch on fast enough unless you add something life threatening in the subject like " we are out of coffee"). to add more fun to the game, set policy where everyone has to change one desk to left ( hopefully your not the unlucky few on a high floor with a window seat, in that case you need to flap your arms really really fast.

From the way it sounds, the auditor guy could quite well be my ex-manager.

You're not fair. He's been in the business longer than any other here.

You know what I could buy it, I have heard of really really dumb auditors before. But that sounds like a really clever or really really lazy scammer. It is funny none the less
