Even more amazing is that they didn't have a backup for a situation like this.

shows you to never let just one person keep the password. amazing how such large institutions can get tripped up by one small detail. it's the achille's heel syndrome.

Interesting story out of San Francisco. A network administrator, Terry Childs is holding San Fran's municipal data network hostage. For reason's that ABC News has not be able to discover, Childs placed a password on the area's FibreWAN, a network that he was instrumental in creating. Unfortunately for the city, that network also has about 60% of the municipalities data and is not completely inaccesible.

As of now, no motivation is being reported and Terry is being held on charges of network tampering.
