Client A signs a contract stating that he owns or is authorized to represent the owner of a Network. He asks a penetration testing company to crack it. After they crack it, recover the pass, tell him how to make it more secure; they find out it's not actually his network and now he has the password. Who is liable?

The client further warrants and represents that he/she is authorized to enter into binding legal agreements.
