Oh, Joy. Another Script Kiddie Thinks They’re Clever
Right, listen up, you lot. Some ex-developer – name’s Terry Butler, apparently – got four *years* in the slammer for deliberately screwing over his old employer in Ohio. Four years! For being a pathetic little shit. He planted a “kill switch” malware thingy after getting canned. Like that’s original.
Apparently, this genius thought it was hilarious to remotely wipe data and disable systems when he wasn’t happy with how things went down. Newsflash: It’s not hilarious. It’s fucking stupid. Cost the company a boatload of money in recovery – over $800k, they say. And now *he’s* paying for it… eventually.
The FBI got involved (because, naturally), tracked him down, and he pleaded guilty. Good. Should have been longer, frankly. Four years is a slap on the wrist for intentionally causing that kind of damage. He thought he was being sneaky with his remote access? Please. Every single one of you leaving backdoors in code are just begging for this to happen.
Honestly, it’s always the same story: disgruntled employee, half-baked revenge plan, and a whole lot of wasted time and resources cleaning up their mess. Get over yourselves, people. Go find a hobby that *doesn’t* involve federal prison.
Speaking of idiots, I once had a sysadmin try to “improve security” by changing all the passwords to his birthday. His *birthday*. Took me about five minutes to crack them. Five minutes! Some people shouldn’t be allowed near a computer, let alone entrusted with anything important. Don’t even get me started on the sticky notes…
