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?

Until a doctor needs that healthcare information, prescribes the wrong treatment, and ends up killing someone based on ignorance due to the records this bastard destroyed.
