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.'"
Just so everyone is clear, the reason banks made risky loans is because they were REQUIRED TO BY LAW. Congress in the early part of this decade(2000 or 2001 iirc) caved in to pressure to give housing mortgages to people who had shitty credit in urban areas. You are living the result right now.
It was a joke you stupid cunt. Hence the other references to Kim Wilde's song "Cambodia", Bonnie Tyler's "Lost in France" and David Bowie's "Young Americans". fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off you humourless, soulless, pedantic cretin. p.s. I really have been to Cambodia many times, I've seen the piles of skulls and the numerous people horribly injured by landmines, it still happens, usually to poor rural kids playing who can't really understand what a landmine is until they step on one, or people so poor that they'll risk their lives to forage or hunt. I never met anyone as fucking dumb as you.
