Developer gets prison time for sabotaging former employer's network with a 'kill switch' | TechCrunch

Davis Lu, 55, was convicted of installing a "kill switch" on the network of his former employer by planting malicious code designed to crash its servers in the event that he was fired. The kill switch was activated when the company terminated Lu's employment and deactivated his credentials, causing the kill switch, "IsDLEnabledinAD" - referring to whether Lu's account was still active in the company's Active Directory. The incident locked out thousands of employees from accessing the company's systems.
