I am not so much defending the way the company handled it or such but am stating that hey things happen, lets not over react. And I understand completely. In my example, I nor my company nor my servers were using the content filtering that was involved. But just the night before while investigating a problem at the office of my biggest client, I found that there was a group of users accessing websites from the office that were causing problems bandwidth problems that those office managers had complained about. So I enabled the content filtering for all offices. I then sent an email to the management of the action I took pending further investigation. Well, at 7:00 AM the next morning, before I knew exactly what was happening or the extent of it, I had the CEO of the company on the phone screaming at me threatening legal action since their offices could not get on-line to process financial transactions that their customers were depending on.
