If you're just a "researcher" and you're not a cop then your job isn't to get convincing evidence of anything.

  If you’re a company then your job is to keep our bank accounts safe. See, I can do it too. Now that we’ve made clear that no-one is doing its job, YES, free citizen should be able to try to poke into the awful security of corporate IT systems and report it in good faith without even spending a second dealing with trouble.

    No it really doesn't work that way. Companies don't go around testing the physical security of the banks that they use. They rely on the legal system and insurance to deal with any failures that the bank has. The right to pen test businesses doesn't actually exist.

      On what reasonable basis? Because it embarasses the company, possibly damaging their business? I say that the company reaps what they sow. They should be grateful. If an ethical hacker doesn't find it, eventually an unethical one will.
