URBANA, Md. (AP) - The Justice Department says it foiled a plot by a fired Fannie Mae contract worker in Maryland to destroy all the data on the mortgage giant's 4,000 computer servers nationwide. The U.S. Attorney's Office says 35-year-old Rajendrasinh Makwana, of Glen Allen, Va., is scheduled for arraignment Friday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on one count of computer intrusion.

U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein says Makwana was fired Oct. 24.

Rosenstein says that on that day, Makwana programmed a computer with a malicious code that was set to spread throughout the Fannie Mae network and destroy all data this Saturday.

Well, OK.... but that would be no more than an inconvenience unless, by some unbelievable fault, Fannie Mae created no backups.

Don't know if there is any connection, but ...

[Ender Wiggin]

Just a disgruntled employee acting alone.

Maybe butt boy and the other snakes in the Dem party want it all to go away and the people to disappear since they can squeal on the scum..Yes I think butt boy and the other had something to do with trying to get rid of evidence..

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This perp should be sharing a prison cell with Bawney Frank.

From another link on the story:

“Makwana was fired from his contract position at Fannie Mae on Oct. 24 for changing computer settings without permission from his supervisor, FBI agent Jessica Nye wrote in a sworn statement. He had worked at Fannie Mae for three years as a computer engineer at the Urbana offices, where he had full access to all of the federally created mortgage company’s 4,000 servers.”

Trying to change setings..ehh??

Where is Urbana?

What’s surprising to me is that there is still data left at all at this point in the game!

[roaddog727]

This will get very interesting very soon.

I hpoe the Feds can make this looser squeal like a pig and implicate all our “favorite” DEMS.

[Perdogg]

He just destroyed data, Congressional dems destroyed the economy.
