Every time I think that my country, the US, is filled with people who like to whine, "Howard Stern this... Janet Jackson that...;" either the UK or Australia chime in with their next ridiculous thing.
And you call yourself a country descended from prisoners!
You should "tell" your "friend" to start looking into another field of work.
If your friend is a security consultant, and didn't immediately see the dangers of having Windows 98 PCs on the network, he may not want to continue being a security consultant. Yea, it's a bit harder to convince the company to upgrade their "legacy" software, or migrate to a different solution; but this is, in fact, part his/her job.
Stop blaming other people and circumstances, the fault lies on the consultant for not actually consulting on anything. The companies decision to be immoral with their disclosure of the data leak is their decision.
Maybe your friend can start working at a warehouse, or floor support at a large corporation if he's that lazy and afraid to actually make any waves.
