Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System
A disgruntled software engineer has hijacked San Francisco's new
multimillion-dollar municipal computer system. When the Department of
Technology tried to fire him, he disabled all administrative passwords
other than his own. He was taken into custody but has so far refused to
provide the password, and the department has yet to regain admin access
on their own. They're worried that he or an associate might be able to
destroy hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents, including emails,
payroll information, and law enforcement documents.
