Or because you hacked into the wrong company. This has happened multiple times.

That’s what happens when you do off the book stuff on company time. Got to organize yourself better.

I’ve even heard stories of physical pen testers entering the wrong company. Oops.

Pen tests aren’t cheap. Even basic ones are ~$20k. There’s only 2 types of companies that bother with them: ones that care about cybersecurity and ones that have to do it for compliance (PCI/CMMC/etc). Both will have some kind of IDS and a SIEM.
