Fired Credit Union employee wiped out 21 GB of data out of revenge

A fired Credit Union employee in New York, Juliana Barile, pleaded guilty for unauthorized access to the financial institution’s computer systems and destroying of about 21 GB of data (more than 20,000 files and almost 3,500 folders), which she erased in revenge for her dismissal.

According to court documents, Barile later bragged to a friend that she had deleted the company’s shared network documents. Although the credit union had a backup of some of the deleted data, it cost the financial institution about $ 10,000 to mitigate the incident.

Let me remind you that we also talked about the fact that Operator of the proxy botnet Russian2015 pleaded guilty.
