S.F. Admin Guilty of Hijacking City Passwords

After a six-month trial, a San Francisco city admin was found guilty Tuesday of a sole felony count of hijacking the city’s computer system.

Terry Childs, 45, was guilty of one count of locking out the city from its FiberWAN network containing city e-mails, payroll, police records, information on jail inmates and more — virtually an all-access pass to City Hall.

That must have been embarrassing for the city admin. :)
