Hell hath no fury like a sysadmin scorned. Just ask Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems Inc; after the organization fired 52-year old Walter Powell in 2009, the IT manager went on a hack attack against his former employer, breaking into the network and installing keyloggers on company computers. With his former CEO's password firmly in hand, he unleashed his coup de grace. And yes, it involves porn, as many humorous computer stories do.

Powell used his ill-gotten access to seize control of his former boss' computer while the CEO was in the middle of a board meeting. Smack dab in the middle of a PowerPoint presentation, Powell replaced the original slideshow with slideshow of hot and steamy pornographic images on the room's 64-inch television, according to NakedSecurity.

The Associated Press reports that Powell "pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful access to a computer causing a malfunction and a count of possessing a pass code without authorization ." Earlier this week, Powell was sentenced to three years of probation, 100 hours of community service and two years in the slam, but the judge on the case suspended the jail sentence.

"Hacking" in the weakest sense of the word.

If he was any good, he would have let the trail lead back to one of the hot office girls.

The jerk was lucky he didn't get jail time. 90 days and probation would help make a believer out of him.

.

To be fair, I don't think he was the one claiming to have "hacked" the system. I think it was the writer's choice of words.

Still, funny as hell!

>>>possessing a pass code without authorization


Um... he possessed it the day he left, so why didn't he get charged with illegal possession THEN?

Or better yet -- why didn't they charge the next I/T manager with stupidity and the CEO with "Too Stupid
To Change A Password -- Too Stupid To Run A Company" and the board fire his ass right then and there??

Hey, just like in Superman IV!

Right?

[Jimmypoo]

the guy should have used a used laptop, registered to nobody, from a McDonalds or similar, (smaller
the better) where his IP didn't matter, there'd be no cameras in a parking lot, and no ownership issues
of the computer he was using tracing back to him.

When you think about it -- he wasn't a very good system admin at all.

I would like to see "hot steamy porn" on a 5 foot monitor though... and the reactions of everyone.
That would have been great to see.

Before he left, he should have installed a wireless webcam in the ceiling, the idiot!!!

Hey! I just noticed that the letters in penis can also spell "snipe".

That's pretty interesting. I'm not sure why, but I just figured that out after 41 years of having one.
