Submission + - Sysadmin 'tried to boobytrap' drug firm database
corbettw writes: "According to El Reg, a sysadmin at a drug company set a booby trap on the company's servers when he thought they were going to lay him off. He survived the round(s) of layoffs, but due to shoddy programming his trap never got sprung. He tried setting it off again, but the trap was found before he could put his dastardly plan into action. If he had succeeded, it would have impacted some 70 servers, and potentially millions of records of data on drug testing, including possibly private information on volunteers. The article is unclear on what the long term effect would have been, however. He now faces charges of fraud and computer hacking in Federal court in New Jersey."
