Note to self: Next time you spend 4 hours debunking a client's AI-generated “penetration test” - consider having some faith in your 38 years of experience, spotless systems administration, responsible work, and care.

Ask that client, friendly but firmly, if he's willing to actually pay you going through that horrendous amount of slop. When you could have fun with your loved one instead. @Veronique_D

tomorrow? @oldrup did the client generate that report, or did a third party scam them? Sorry about your waste of time with that

@reynir Thank you! I feel somewhat validated now.

The client is clueless (which is their right) forwarded a partial screenshot (hiding source) of a report, ordering me to get that fixed by next week or else. The also CC'ed the security company, strange.
Now, I'm very transparent about what my services include and not. My fault to dig through an AI report of nonapplicable issues.
Next time I'll ask the security company to prove it. Hack the website, please. I'll pay if you succeed.

@oldrup there could be a clause that you bill the client or ideally the so-called security company for the hours if the report turns out to be invalid. Of course at a pricey rate.
Those kinds of reports add unnecessary stress and is a waste of everyone's time
