The username/password combos were apparently functioning sets. The DA is saying they found them on Child's own computer. The DA is all in a tizzy because Child's could then use these accounts to sneak into the system and cause mischief without getting tracked back.

Right. The only guy in the world with God level access to this network needs fake usernames/passwords so he can 'cause mischief'?

Give me a fucking break. I can think of many reasons for him to have those combos on his personal system.

1. He's checking to see what naughtiness has already happened with those accounts
2. He's got accounts so he can log in with a lower level of access and see what's accessible
3. These are usernames/password combos that he sniffed off the network, during routine security testing.
4. These are people with accounts that have had some kind of trouble, and he's got them so he can attempt to diagnose problems linked to user level access.
5. It's a list of post-it pad's he's seen while walking around at work, and he'd been planning to inform the users to change their passwords.
6. They're the output list of a password security checker.

Apparently the less than brilliant DA's office is unaware that the GOD level admin has the ability to do anything at all on the network and REMOVE ALL TRACES IN THE LOGS afterwards. It's trivial, when you're the one who runs the tattletales.

Dear DA office: IF YOU LOOK HARD YOU'LL UNDOUBTEDLY FIND EVIDENCE TRACY EAVESDROPPING ON THE NETWORK SNIFFING AND ATTEMPTING TO ILLEGALLY PENETRATE THE SYSTEM. IT'S PART OF HIS JOB, MORONS. IF YOU KEEP BRINGING THIS CRAP UP, YOU'LL ONLY LOOK STUPIDER.

Keep this up, and Nifong will have company in the 'worlds dumbest DA's club'
