“Federal officials said Makwana was terminated because on or about Oct. 10 or Oct. 11 he created a computer script that changed the setting on the Unix servers without getting the nod of his supervisor. That script was not malicious.

“Despite Makwana’s termination, [his] computer access was not immediately terminated,” FBI agent Jessica A. Nye stated in the affidavit.

Nye goes on to explain that access to Fannie Mae’s computers for contractors’ employees was controlled by the company’s procurement department, which did not terminate Makwana’s computer access until late in the evening Oct. 24”

I’d like to know who his ‘supervisor’ was?

“Despite Makwana’s termination, [his] computer access was not immediately terminated,”

That's just wrong. When I walked out of the last place because of a dispute with the rest of the BOD, I left HR step by step instructions on how to delete my access to ALL my accounts, and got a signed affidavit saying my accounts were locked.
