It didn’t take police long to make the arrest. In fact, within 48 hours of receiving reports of stolen computer servers from several HISD schools the HISD Police Department arrested a former employee. Clifford Weaver, 33, was released from his position as a Netsync Network Solutions contractor back in February, but according to police he continued to use his old HISD identification badge. Police say it helped him to gain access to seven schools, which include Allen Elementary on Victoria Street. The seven schools located all across the city had just purchased the computer servers, which were valued at approximately $3,000 dollars apiece. Investigators learned he would pretend to be a legitimate service man. It is unknown at this time if the servers were located and are not damaged so they can be returned to the schools. At last check Weaver was still in jail pending a $10,000 bond. _____________________________________________________ Attend Black Hat USA, July 28-August 2 in Las Vegas, the world's premier technical event for ICT security experts.
