Planting Logic Bomb
The article which I read, Informed about a Computer System Administrator obtain a jail sentence of roughly 2 years and some odd months for implanting a Logic Bomb. Such administrator worked for a Large health care corporation known as Medco Health Solutions. Such Bomb could have corrupted the whole business Networks and obtain valuable information from many if not all clients. Yung-Hsun Lin, the suspect also had previous fraud cases in the past, which only worsened the trial. Its had been known as the longest sentenced computer- related crime done to computer systems information and networks. this crime " The Logic Bomb" was intended to erase information from about 70 Medco servers at a certain date and time. Fortunately a Co-worker discovered the script within an array of other scipts and shut the sequence down. this threat would have been imposed on clients prespcisptions and ways of obtaing medications, it would have also caused large head aches to the pharmacist whom log on to Medco systems to find out such information on clients medications and what not.
