Trying to destroy evidence, eh? I wonder what Bawney and his Fannie Mae boyfriend have to do with this plot.

Latest on Drudge says disgruntled worker was fired.

Skeptical here, ... because the guy should be in custody.

Wait and see, I guess.

The guy might just be a patsy for the real perps! Who gets fired for ‘changing settings’? This happened back in October and we are just now finding out about it?

Something stinks!!

H1B! YOU BET YOUR BIPPY!

“Rajendrasinh Makwana, an Indian citizen”

Fannie Mae hiring H1B’s instead of U.S. citizens?

How ironic!

Please spell Congressmen’s names correctly. It is:

Bawney Fwank.

Thank you very much.

“Bawney Frank and others want the EVIDENCE destroyed....”

They should have sent Sandy “Burglar” Berger to do the job...he’s a professional.

I guess we know who will be among BO’s first pardons in (hopefully) 4 years.

Important info at this link:

http://www.dcexaminer.com/local/012909-Ex-Fannie_Mae_worker_charged_with_planting_computer_virus.html

“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. Before leaving work Oct. 24,...”

This guy might have been set up by the folks at Fannie Mae trying to hide the evidence folks!This happened in October when all the news was coming out about Fannie Mae!

Who is to say someone else did not access his computer to do this stuff and set him up for the fall?

Who gets FIRED for changing a few ‘settings’ anyway?

This story is worth watching and keeping track of for sure!

It's not mutually exclusive.

The guy could have written this hack years ago, in case he ever did get fired.

I would guess that he had a "deadman timer" on this little bomb that was reset every time he logged in. If he didn't log in for (say) two months, then it would expire and the data would be lost.

Depends on the settings, doesn't it?

For this guy to achieve his "bomb," he'd have to grant himself write/delete access to the files themselves -- something he was probably directly prohibited from doing.

Fannie Mae Contractor Indicted For Logic Bomb

"..It was mere chance that a senior Unix engineer with Fannie Mae discovered a logic bomb.

The logic bomb, a malicious script designed to wipe Fannie Mae's 4,000 servers, was allegedly placed by Rajendrasinh Makwana, an IT contractor who worked in Fannie Mae's Urbana, Md., facility. It was set to execute on Jan. 31. Had it done so, Fannie Mae engineers expect it would have caused millions of dollars in damage and possibly shut down the government-sponsored mortgage lender for a week.[snip]

[snip]The discovery occurred on Oct. 29. Makwana had been terminated as a Fannie Mae contractor on Oct. 24, around 1 or 1:30 p.m., the affidavit says, but his network access was not terminated until late that evening. Makwana was fired for allegedly creating a computer script earlier that month that changed server settings without the permission of his supervisor.

Makwana was not required to turn in his badge or Fannie Mae-supplied laptop until the end of the day on Oct. 24. According to Nye's affidavit, it was during that afternoon that Makwana is alleged to have planted the malicious script...."

Thanks.

Can’t wait to hear this guys side of the story. Looks and smells like the perfect set up to me. Pick a target(patsy from another country)..fire him for a minor petty reason..get into his computer while he is not at work..set up a data time bomb...blame the ‘disgruntled employee’ from a foreign country...scare the hell out of him if he talks and say you will drop the charges if he returns to his faraway land and slap a gag order on him.

Bing...badda..bing... Barney Frank, Franklin Raines and the democrats ‘pay to play’ stuff wiped out...Mission Accomplished.

OK...putting on my tin foil hat here...I know.
