Davis Lu, who was 55 years old, has worked in Eaton for more than ten years and reached a senior developer. It decreased after “redistribution of tasks”. In response, Lu created the “Kill Switch olan, an enabled program to prevent access to network.
The malicious program in Java created an endless process of process and gradually loaded the server before the failure. When the company prevented access the network, the program worked, deprived thousands of employees around the world to enter the system and deleted some of the corporate data.
He aggravated his trick: “Isdlenablinad” (in honor of the name of the nickname) and loaded it using corporate accounting data. While lifting the laptop, it turned out that he deleted data, looking for ways to hide his actions and increase access rights.
Less than a month after the launch of the program, the United States arrested Federal agents Lua. He claimed to be guilty, but insisted on the hearing with the jury. It ended on charges of deliberate damage to protected systems. In addition to the four -year prison, he was appointed as “Conders” for three years.
