cweditor writes "A former Medco Health systems administrator was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $81,200 in restitution for planting a logic bomb on a network that held customer health care information, Computerworld reports. The code was designed to delete almost all information on about 70 company servers. This may be longest federal prison sentence for trying to damage a corporate computer system, although Yung-Hsun Lin faced a maximum of 10 years."

  • I am of the opinion that the person should have gotten the min. of 10 years. This is the only way you can send a message to others that might do something like this. Punishment must be severe especially if the possibility (or reality) was that medical records were(could have been) destroyed or tampered with. These documents can make the difference between life and death. PS
