gotta beware of those disgruntled employees
let’s say you’re about you just got a bad performance evaluation from your job and although the company wanted to fire you, they couldn’t. would you quit your job or wait to be fire? well let me tell you what terry childs, a computer network administrator for the san francisco’s dept of technology, did. childs somehow locked out all the administrators but himself from the city’s network system giving him exclusive admin access to records such as city officials’ emails, payroll files and other confidential city documents. childs is in jail now but he refuses to give up the access code.
while the city’s great in matters of gay marriages, water bottles, and public demonstrations, the publicly issued responses from the city leds me to believe they’re not quite sure what to do here. the chief administrative officer for the dept of tech said that the system “is up and running and we haven’t had any problems so far”. i guess if you define having your data locked by an unauthorized person as not a problem, then this quote makes sense. another comment by a spokesman for the mayor relayed that the mayor is “confident that everything is being done to maintain the integrity of the city’s computer networks”. um, seems to me that this comment is a little late, the system has already been compromised, no?
(my personal question for the mayor: gavin, does this mean there’s a job opening in the city’s tech dept?)
