Hacking San FranciscoYes, it's not going to be worth the tremendous amount of trouble he's in, and it's a warning to all organization executives and network administrators, but you've got to admire the nerve of Terry Childs, at least a little: "A San Francisco city computer network administrator charged with taking over the city's computer system and blocking access to it has had an arraignment date set... I can't wait to find out why... UPDATE: Information Week has more... "Childs... is still being paid his six-figure salary while he sits in jail, refusing to divulge the password he created to hijack the computer system that stores 60% of all city government data... The suspect has refused to divulge the password that would unlock the system, which remains operational. " Posted by Joe Caponi at 10:22 AM, July 17, 2008 This is a public forum.
