Childs' play - San Francisco IT worker held network keys
1 comment
by Darrell Proctor, Business Examiner
The dark side of computing was highlighted this week.
But when San Francisco authorities said a 43-year-old worker employee named Terry Childs took that city's network hostage and refused to relinquish control, it was all too real.
Here's some background on the case. City officials took issue with Childs' attorney's statement that it was all a "big misunderstanding."
"The only thing we've heard from pub(lic) defenders' office is that he loves kittens," said the city's Department of Technology deputy chief Ron Vinson.
Here's another good take from PC World, which helps outline the complexity of the case. Suffice to say, it's the kind of thing that keeps IT security and network engineers awake at night.
