    The court documents state that Brody’s employment was terminated after he violated company policies by connecting a USB drive containing pornography to company computers.

    Okay, I mean, there are many types of stupid but that’s a completely new one.

      A new one??? No I could tell some stories. They aren’t first hand knowledge so I guess they are disputable, but it has been far worse, but I’m an older guy and thankfully the world has changed in thirty years. At a minimum someone I know had to deal with complaints that someone at the city govt was printing porn to the shared office printer. Huge stacks of it that he’d pick up at the end of the day .

        As an IT guy, most of the firings that I have been part of have involved porn of some form or another. It’s a huge problem. All you have to do is look at it on your phone off of the company Wi-Fi and I don’t have to deal with it. Please, For all you cube cumers out there, please use your phones.

      Oof

      Following his dismissal, Brody allegedly refused to return his work laptop and instead used his still-valid account to access the bank’s computer network and cause damages estimated to be above $220,000

      Also

      Impersonated another cloud engineer at FRB to access the firm’s network and make configuration changes

      I can see this at a mid size startup or enterprise, but a bank?

    Inserted ‘taunts’ in the code, including references to “grok”

    Uh. OK.

    I mean, I understand the Heinlein word, but what does that have to do with his motivation?
