The information about the VPN is not entirely correct. A VPN can (and usually does) encrypt information between your endpoint and the VPN server, not too unlike an SSL connection.
It does not, however, when using it with a web browser or other internet client, add additional encryption between the VPN server and any other internet endpoint (like a disney extranet site) that they cannot decipher. If that were true, he wouldn’t be able to see their web pages nor would they be able to decipher his requests.
He used a VPN to obscure his source IP address, slowing down the response to find him. I also don’t understand the efficacy of shutting down staff accounts and then trying to log into them 100,000 times. Unless there’s some “we lock your account after X number of failed logins” - style policy, there’s no point in doing that.
This is why.
If they have personal information or files on their work computer they can tell the Tech Support guy which it is and TS guy will pull it for them and burn it to CD or print a hard copy, (which should tell you how long it has been since I fired someone).
The fired one will be walked out of the building to their car. All personal items will be packed up for him and delivered to their home address by FedEx the next day.
This is very basis security.
Based on the amount of demonic anger, rage at complete strangers, with severe possible homicidal intent... $500 says he is a homosexual.
Um, wouldn’t this be attempted murder? Food allergies are no joke.
