The theory “If I am fired, this company goes through hell” – and the security switch was really on.
Not to be farewell, A person can think of a way of Avenge of the company. You may think (in principle it will be rare), but even rarer will be to realize.
Davis Lu should be a rare piece: He thought of a revenge plan before he was fired and implemented this plan after being fired.
The story tells the story: In 2018 Eaton Corp, a company where Davis worked, began to give signs that there was a spot of dismissal.
First, there were some internal changes and Davis – programmer – has less access to the system.
When he thought (and agreed) that he would be dismissed to follow, he began to look for forms of increase your privileges as a system administratorerase quickly and in mass files from the system and hide the code that allowed these maneuvers.
The following year, 2019, began to program “infinite loops” to intercetar logins and eliminate employee files. They were the “Hakai” codes, ie “destruction” in Japanese.
In the background, practiced the cyberslacking: Used the work computer during working hours, but for other things – which are actually related as work, but in an original way.
In his scheme, he created a sequence of code called “Isdlenabledinad”; That is, “Davis Lu is activated in the directory”. The code was inactive while the system response was “yes”.
But in one day, Davis Lu It was fired. On that day, the system response became “no”.
What happened?
This code blocked all other users and put the company in chaos.
That is, for a certain period (not disclosed how long), No Eaton Corp employee could work on your computer with your usual credentials. All paralyzed.
A company lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, quotes the. The programmer’s lawyers ensure that the company only lost $ 5,000.
Last week, Davis Lu was considered guilty by a federal jury. He was accused of maliciously interrupting the servers of such a energy management company.
FBI investigators discovered the crime when they tracked the code to a server to which Lu had access.
This server was performing the attack through a computer with the login de Davis lu.
Now you risk staying arrested for 10 years.
