Software Engineer Takes Over San Francisco's Computer Network (1 Viewer)

[Slidey]

A software engineer was disgruntled about attempts to fire him, so what did he do? He locked out all access to San Francisco's multi-million dollar government computer architecture and gave himself root access, then refused to co-operate once arrested.

When asked what his motive was, he wouldn't respond. I think it might be more than just a case of mental instability at work here.

Still, it's hilarious. Who hasn't thought about doing that to their employer?

He did it because he's a clever bugger, and because he could do it. And I admire a person like that.
