Rogue IT worker gets seven months in prison over $200,000 digital rampage — technician changed all of his company's passwords after getting suspended
7 months in prison...How many months does the CEO get if an employee is injured on the job. This is a shit hole country.
I don't disagree with your sentiment. I also don't know where you live. To clarify though, this story is from the UK.
I mean, this guy is an ass, and deserves some stuff punishment. Some places this could cause them to close up shop.
On the side, what kind of business doesn't have a team doing this stuff with accountability/approvals/controls, and especially for someone being fired.
Some companies are just hopeless.
I can guarantee one of the companies I previously worked for still has the same passwords on everything with their generic shared admin accounts.
They provide Cyber Security services.
Most small to medium sized businesses. Having that shit is expensive. Far more then 200k for a single incident.
Suspended or fired. We usually jump on this pretty fast. You never know what people will do. Easy enough to just disable accounts. Weird.
It’s usually harder to do for admins. They’re usually the ones who do the suspending.
The only way that works in practice is to either have a second admin who gets the order while the first is talking to their boss, or you have a non-technical person with a break glass account that can do it while the admin is in that meeting.
I've had to be the second admin on more than one occasion and it sucks to be the one disabling your coworker/friend when they get fired, but it's part of the job.
Fucking Chad.
Fuck the corpo parasite.
If everyone started treating the class war with any degree of seriousness. We could have these clowns on their knees in no time.
