This isn't the way. If you're in an engineering role, you have an ethical professional responsibility to do what's reasonably secure and pushback against unreasonable insecurity.
I was once fired (forced to "resign") from a full-time job at a major university because I refused to rush weakening the security of a credit card processing network covered by PCI-DSS because a vendor couldn't figure out how a VPN works.
- inigyou 2mo agoFiring was the correct move. You may be protected for refusing to commit a crime, but violating PCI-DSS isn't a crime. Businesses are free to choose which of their contracts to violate and accept the risk attached to that. You could have anonymously reported the violation to the bank.
