Another Dumb Logic Bomber

One more:

Facing a possible layoff from his job as an IT systems administrator, a 50-year-old New Jersey man was charged yesterday with planting malicious “logic bomb” code into the company systems where he worked that could have damaged more than 70 servers.

The government alleges that Lin then modified the inserted logic bomb code in November 2003, but that it was still scheduled to deploy on his birthday on April 23, 2004. Due to an error in the code, however, it didn’t deploy as scheduled. In September 2004, Lin allegedly corrected the code error and changed the deployment date to April 23, 2005.

Just because attacks involve computers doesn’t mean the attackers are any smarter. Lucky for us…
