COUNTY PAYS $600K TO WRONGFULLY JAILED PEN TESTERS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

In 2019, two Coalfire consultants, legally hired to test an Iowa courthouse's security, were arrested for burglary after a county sheriff overrode officers who had verified their contract. Their prosecution dragged on for months, damaging careers and client relationships, until Dallas County agreed to a $600,000 settlement seven years later.
