I dealt with a situation at a college internship. The company was designing a marketing campaign for Nokia, but we were having major problems with the firewall software, which made for a very flaky Internet connection.
Long story short, my manager disabled the firewall and we were hacked that night. I was let go the following day unceremoniously. I discovered soon after that the company blamed me for the attack, saying I turned the firewall off and hacked the servers myself.
The school immediately started expulsion proceedings without even contacting me. Fortunately, my advisor personally addressed the issue and had everything dropped. The drama only lasted a few days, but the schools brain dead response to the issue gave me zero confidence in their ability to review anything objectively. I was so disgusted I refused to walk in the graduation ceremony, much to my parents disappointment.
