Negligence of that order would surely be prosecuted.

Edit: a claim of duress would probably work though.

You mean falling for a phishing scam? You must not have any experience in security if you truly believe that they're going to prosecute someone for that lmao.

Of course, if the employee openly expressed their carelessness and distain for their employer that changes things but that seems unlikely to be the case in reality.

Maybe I'm paranoid. 🤷‍♂️

I can't really imagine it working. Maybe resulting in a firing with cause at max.

Also, what would the company win by suing? The employee is most likely broke, and anything recouped is offset by the negative PR.
