This is the world's worst writeup of the world's worst penetration test report.
First, this article is on some linkbait site and it gets posted to HN.
Second, the author complains that these kinds of outfits haven't been "weeded out" of the industry. Anyone with half a mind in the security industry knows that it is filled with charlatans and snake oil. That the author finds this surprising seems to indicate they're a bit green. Nobody's been weeded out from existence. Thus, a little caution and common sense is required.
I suspect the author's associate probably did a Google search for "pentester" and stumbled upon this outfit. Or worse, he read the stunning Google reviews for this outfit.
Also, as a US company, don't use an Indian company for a task so sensitive, and where it's vital that language be precise. Maybe that's politically-incorrect, but its the truth. If you're an Indian company, by all means ignore this advice.
