How I Breached a Company with Donuts

I was contracted with an organization years ago to do a physical penetration test to see if I would be able to gain access to the inside of their headquarters. Only upper management knew that this test was being performed. Here is my story. Never attempt this, unless you are specifically hired to do this like I was.

Great story. I've been on the other side of this; an employee with a "stranger".
Pre-Covid, I saw someone sitting in a space reserved for IT contractors. I walked by twice to see if I could see a badge. When I had asked this gentleman what he was doing there, he said he was there doing some work in a quiet location. I thought it was odd, and let my VP know what was going on. Not sure whatever happened, but it pays to pay attention to your surroundings.

Great story Mike, I’m sure that was definitely a rush when you made it into the building! Definitely shows the power of donuts, Especially the chocolate covered 🤣
