Ex-Employee Busted For Tampering With ERP System
ErichTheRed writes "Here's yet another example of why it's very important to make sure IT employees' access is terminated when they are. According to the NYTimes article, a former employee of this company allegedly accessed the ERP system after he was terminated and had a little 'fun.' 'Employees at Spellman began reporting that they were unable to process routine transactions and were receiving error messages. An applicant for his old position received an e-mail from an anonymous address, warning him, “Don’t accept any position.” And the company’s business calendar was changed by a month, throwing production and finance operations into disorder.' As an IT professional myself, I can't ever see a situation that would warrant something like this. Unfortunately for all of us, some people continue to give us a really bad reputation in the executive suite."

I always suspect that companies in these cases deserve what happens to them
Did you see the outfit that ERP was wearing? That general ledger module was WAY above it's knee. And I think the CRM middleware was wearing a lot of perfume. Totally asking for it.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Some people can turn a lemon into lemonade. Some can leave the lemon alone. Others turn a lemon into a rotting, worm-infested lemon, like it seems this guy has.
