Of course he set passwords to protect administrative access to the routers. The department for which he (and I) work, DTIS has no written policy regarding who should or should not have administrative access to those routers. Keep in mind that control of the routing means access to data crossing the network including email, voice mail, police records etc. Would you hand the passwords over to any random supervisor on demand? Suppose you refused to hand them over - should you then be arrested as though you have somehow committed a crime by doing your job? If that did happen and you wanted to hand them over to someone even though there is no guiding policy to show who should have them, would you offer them to the mayor as Terry Childs did? This man should not be in jail. Terry Childs was the sole administrator of the routers for the FiberWAN network and had been for years.

Pure vandalism, in fact he should be charged. But some type of employers may want people like Terry and, from this publicity, he sure has put the word out No matter how pissed, Terry should not have done this.

Uh. Like, duh. This post is so obvious. You might as well have just written "Puking is bad. It's better than just exploding, though." “Terry Childs may have embarrassed his employer, but he also embarrassed himself by being so unprofessional.”

I'm amazed he's not being charged under your Homeland security laws as an act of Terrorism? As for me, that's why I have a long term goal of six months salary in emergency funds, so rather than be malicious I can just walk away from an employer I can no longer work for. Oh my.
