He was fired before he did this. He was a former employee.
“According to court documents, Scheuer conducted a series of computer intrusions or attacks directed at his former employer following his termination. These intrusions included manipulating allergen information in restaurant menus to indicate that food items were safe for customers with certain allergies, when they were not. Scheuer also altered menu information related to wine regions to reflect locations of recent mass shootings. Additionally, Scheuer launched denial-of-service attacks designed to lock certain company employees out of their accounts.”

My point was that he was fired after a contentious row with his employer. The row was due to his behavior prior to this event. He was malicious enough to burrow into their network afterwards and leave a turd. Luckily someone found out before any real damage was done, and he may actually have helped teach them to tighten security. Who would have thought that anyone would do something so pointlessly malicious?
He will never be given a position of trust more perilous than pizza delivery, and even there I would not trust him not to spit in on the deliveries.
Does this idiot think he’s the only one who gets fired. I’ve been fired three times over my lifetime: the first two for performance issues, the third was for not going back to the office for my job in Silver Spring, Maryland after moving to Florida during the COVID telework period.
The person who never gets fired is either an exceptional worker or is just plain lucky (no layoffs, etc.).
