Unsure why this is being shared with potential criminal and civil charges being involved.
Also, if true, you likely have enough evidence for a stellar lawsuit against the company once all is said and done. You may also have enough evidence for a second lawsuit against your employer depending on exact circumstances. Hopefully your lawyer is knowledgeable enough to navigate these issues.
In the future, don't involve your employer with security disclosures. Ensure you document everything and email or write the company in question to give them time to fix their issues. What they did is wrong, however you should have reported it to them in a reasonable amount of time. Not that you are required to, but rather, to cover your own butt and prevent this exact type of scenario.

- gm 5y agoEmployment law attorneys work on contingency, so no expense to you. You start on the wrongful termination suit, get evidence, and then go after the other company based on what you discover from your previous employer.
- bsuvc 5y agoI guess it depends on where OP is located, but most US states have at-will employment, and being a hacker is not a protected class, so I don’t see how this could be an illegal firing.
- gm 5y agoshrug that's why one would consult with a contingency-based employment attorney.
