Got this email today. It seems someone is getting fired in the IT department...
Why would you fire anyone in IT? Security is an executive decision.
We're firing you because you should have told us this would happen!
... I did.

Make sure you back up all email and IM communications and don't rely exclusively on server-side retention (provided your DLP policy allows for this.)
If it ever comes down to it and you are facing the possibility of being the scapegoat for a security incident, your attorney can review the relevant policy and determine whether or not and when you can use these to demonstrate that you communicated your concerns to management and stakeholders.
Depending on who you reached out to and who was included, absence of a response to your various methods of communication can be used to establish acceptance of risk by leadership.
Looks like legal wrote the press release to me.
