RE: What to do about a disgruntled employee

[Hart Doug <dah6696@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I still have a copy of the December 1988 Computer Decisions magazine
which has the cover story 'Time Bomb! The Story Behind The Texas Virus
Trial'.  Quoted from the article.  
        "Three years ago (1985), Donald Gene Burleson was a highly regarded
programmer at a large brokerage and insurance firm.  Today, he stands
convicted as a felon following what has been called the country's first
'computer virus' trial.  Here is the inside story of events leading to
his prosecution and conviction as a computer saboteur."

It tells of a Sys/38 developer who had QSECOFR rights and had been
fired.  Seem the first problems were that about half (160,000) of the
company sales commissions records had been randomly deleted.  Next they
hit a commonly used application menu option would power down the system.
 It seemed that an number of 'trip wires and time bombs' had been
planted.  The damage was so bad that they had to do a full restore from
a backup, including the OS.
