I'm sure any further unauthorized access from random VPN IPs would have also been blamed on OP, unfortunately. "He found this out then an hour later random IPs exploited it. He must have initiated those VPNs".

VPN doesn’t matter here. OP made it clear he was logged into the system first. Presumably all data is blocked until you are logged in. And if you are logged in, IT admin does not care about your IP address when they have your username.

Unless the IT guy was accidentally letting it slip that there was no authorization implemented at all.
