From www.bleepingcomputer.com: A software developer named Davis Lu has been found guilty of sabotaging his former employer, Eaton Corporation, by using custom malware and implementing a “kill switch” after losing his job responsibilities.
Lu’s actions included running code that caused server crashes and locking out thousands of users when his account was disabled.
His activities resulted in significant financial losses for the company, and he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for causing intentional damage to protected computers.
