A Real IT Pro Would Know Better
The ex-IT director of publishing company Source Media apparently believes that
revenge is a dish best served cold. That's why he waited three years after being
sacked
to
exact his mild revenge -- only the joke was on him. Stevan Hoffacker used
old logons and passwords to get into the e-mail system, and there learned about
impending layoffs. Hoffacker's coup de grace was sending e-mail from a Yahoo
account warning those about to get the boot. He could get up to five years in
jail (and maybe use this time to brush up on his hacking skills). How would
you punish Hoffacker? Let us know at

Gone Bad."
