2.5 Years in Jail for Planting 'Logic Bomb'
cweditor writes "A former Medco Health systems administrator was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $81,200 in restitution for planting a logic bomb on a network that held customer health care information. The code was designed to delete almost all information on about 70 company servers. This may be longest federal prison sentence for trying to damage a corporate computer system, although Yung-Hsun Lin faced a maximum of 10 years." How long before the disgruntled sysadmin replaces the disgruntled postal worker in the zeitgeist?

This is the sig that says NI (again)
so would everyone in the blast radius of this 'logic bomb' be hit with a blast of reason and common sense?
would those affected begin acting rationally?
maybe the courts would wake up and start letting the common people win for a change.
i think we need more of these logic bombs.
live long and prosper, logic bomber...

First, people would need to know they exist. Second, they'd need a vague, rudimentary knowledge of what a sysadmin does.
So, probably never.
Fear and appease the mighty systems administrator, lest he make your CD tray eject at random and hit thy knee, causing grave distress and injury.

Fear and appease the mighty systems administrator, lest he make thy coffee holder retract at random and spilleth thy coffee all over thy desk and thy pants, causing much consternation and stains that are really hard to get out.

All this talk of meat is making me thirsty
Or replace or, in open source systems, edit the NIC driver(s). Have it change random bits in the packets. They'll probably spend WEEKS trying to track THAT down. :-D

Thankfully, most sysadmins are honest ethical people.
Never read BOFH?
How can they be more private than "deleted"?
