No matter how bitter you are. Don't do this kind of shit. It's not worth it. Just move on to somewhere else and enjoy your life.

>A 55-year-old software developer faces up to 10 years in prison for deploying malicious code that sabotaged his former employer's network, allegedly costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses. The US Department of Justice announced Friday that Davis Lu was convicted by a jury after "causing intentional damage to protected computers" reportedly owned by the Ohio- and Dublin-based power management company Eaton Corp. Lu had worked at Eaton Corp. for about 11 years when he apparently became disgruntled by a corporate "realignment" in 2018 that "reduced his responsibilities," the DOJ said.

I don't understand why he wouldn't also just stay and enjoy the 'reduced responsibilities'. Same pay and less work, if so, sounds good to me, but that is one of the things that set Lu off.

Some people are very in their head (ego). Probably had a "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM"? complex.

To those people "No, I don't and I don't give a fuck and never will. Fuck off"!

Probably easier/more clandestine ways to go about that than running power shell scripts under your own fucking user ID.

Although the company is not totally free from fault here. Apparently they left his account or at least his user session active after he was let go. Fucking amateur hour there. Guess they don't have proper termination procedures in place. They ultimately allowed this to happen.

Yeah, Most companies do that shit. They are afraid that there are custom jobs or scripts that run under their user account and they will break and take down prod if the account is disabled.

It's a stupid fucking practice and if a company allows anything to be ran under anything but a service account or something that access can be strictly controlled they are full of fail.

Basically every single place I have worked have had this problem. I usually start with trying to move things that run as a user into a service account in the first month since no one else is willing to do it. I am paid to -un-fuck- what everyone before me fucked up.
