Fannie Mae Worker Indicted For Malicious Script

dfdashh writes "A former Fannie Mae contractor has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Baltimore, MD for computer intrusion. He attempted to propagate a malicious script throughout the company's 4,000 servers. The DC Examiner has details of the incident: 'Had this malicious script executed, [Fannie Mae] engineers expect it would have caused millions of dollars of damage and reduced if not shutdown operations at [Fannie Mae] for at least one week. ... The virus was set to execute at 9 a.m. Jan. 31, first disabling Fannie Mae's computer monitoring system and then cutting all access to the company's 4,000 servers, Nye wrote. Anyone trying to log in would receive a message saying "Server Graveyard." From there, the virus would wipe out all Fannie Mae data, replacing it with zeros, Nye wrote. Finally, the virus would shut down the servers.'"

Hmm, let's see. You said.

I went to Camodia(sic) and it wasn't anything like Jello Biafra's song ... Overall it was a very disappointing experience

Jello Biafra's song was about life under a government that killed 25% of the population of the country. You presumably didn't visit the country when Pol Pot was in power since it was one big work camp. Actually even if you had have done so then, they would probably have assigned you a minder and made sure you didn't see anything too nasty happening, rather like the North Koreans did during the 90's famine, or the North Vietnamese did when they huge numbers of South Vietnames off to a camps after they annexed South Vietnam in 1975. Actually come to think of it all murderous totalitarian regimes tend to be a bit wary of showing tourists their concentration camps, for some reason.

So if you go on holidays looking to see lots of people being killed for some twisted reason, you will most likely be disappointed. Still you can always jack off to pictures of the concentration camps the Allies liberated, which are uncensored, you sick fuck.
