Followup on cyber security article
In the November issue of Control Engineering, there was a cyber security supplement that had an article on the human factors or cyber security. One case discussed in that article related to a hacker who planted a logic bomb in his company's network. Yung-Hsun Lin worked for Medco Health Solutions and wrote malicious code that would have disabled the ability for pharmacists to check new prescriptions issued to their patients against earlier medication records in hopes of preventing dangerous drug interactions.
Lin was caught and the bomb disarmed before it did any damage. He was found guilty and scheduled to be sentenced this month. That sentence has now been handed down. (I'm beginning to sound like the narrator on Dragnet. The story you are about to read is true...)
Lin has been sentenced to 30 months in prison and fines of $81,200 to cover restitution to his old company. He could have received a maximum of 10 years and $250,000 in fines. He begins his sentence February 25.
The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. (To borrow a phrase from The Shadow.)
