Remember those infosec fellas who were cuffed while testing the physical security of a courthouse? The burglary charges have been dropped

And it only took, er, four and a half months for people to see sense


Criminal charges have been dropped against two infosec professionals who were arrested during a sanctioned physical penetration test gone wrong.


On Thursday, the Des Moines Register – no relation – reported that a judge in Dallas County, Iowa, formally dismissed the third-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools allegations against Coalfire employees Gary DeMercurio and Justin Wynn.


Back in September, Coalfire had been hired by the judicial branch of the US state of Iowa to put its IT systems and physical security to the test.
