ferenHuh, so after almost two years they've finally managed to convict Terry Childs of felony computer tampering for his role in "locking out" staff and other IT workers from the San Francisco FiberWAN.
While Terry's contribution to the incident was certainly ill-advised, I'm not sure a 5 year prison term and felony rap is really in proportion to what happened.
Interesting mixed messages to us IT folks both in and out of the private sector, something that has already been picked up on by some press outlets.
