http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9180339/Update_Network_admin_Terry_Childs_gets_4_year_sentence By Robert McMillan IDG News Service August 7, 2010 A City of San Francisco administrator who refused to hand over administrative passwords to the city's network was sentenced to four years in state prison Friday. Terry Childs was convicted in April of violating California's hacking laws after he refused to hand over administrative control to the city's FiberWAN network in July 2008. He was sentenced Friday by Judge Teri Jackson, according to Erica Derryck, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco district attorney's office. Although the city's network continued to run during the 12 days that Childs refused to hand over control, jurors found that by denying the city the administrative control to its own network, he had violated state law. -- Visit InfoSec News! http://www.infosecnews.org/Received on Sun Aug 08 2010 - 22:28:01 PDT
