and now they will have to put dual nics in all their machines so they can
hook to both corporate and their 'hack net'..

As soon as they do that, the whole thing falls apart and is very much
fire-able.

Yup, if he's tying those clients to two networks, one secure and one

that if he's going to continue, he at least knows he's walking into
a buzzsaw.
