The court documents state that Brody's employment was terminated after he violated company policies by connecting a USB drive containing pornography to company computers.
Okay, I mean, there are many types of stupid but that's a completely new one.

A new one??? No I could tell some stories. They aren't first hand knowledge so I guess they are disputable, but it has been far worse, but I'm an older guy and thankfully the world has changed in thirty years. At a minimum someone I know had to deal with complaints that someone at the city govt was printing porn to the shared office printer. Huge stacks of it that he'd pick up at the end of the day .
As an IT guy, most of the firings that I have been part of have involved porn of some form or another. It's a huge problem. All you have to do is look at it on your phone off of the company Wi-Fi and I don't have to deal with it. Please, For all you cube cumers out there, please use your phones.
Yeah this is why you fire people after you have changed their login credentials.
We are fully remote and require a VPN to access all resources. I literally have to do only two things for termination - disable their VPN account and initiate a remote wipe of their work computer.
There are other things, but once those two things are done, I can take my time.
Oof
Following his dismissal, Brody allegedly refused to return his work laptop and instead used his still-valid account to access the bank's computer network and cause damages estimated to be above $220,000
Also
Impersonated another cloud engineer at FRB to access the firm's network and make configuration changes
I can see this at a mid size startup or enterprise, but a bank?
2 years for 220k damage? Isn't that basically what he earns in two years, so he could pay it back in five?
i could see it as a difficult thing to get hired in the same position after burning things down when leaving.
Inserted 'taunts' in the code, including references to "grok"
Uh. OK.
I mean, I understand the Heinlein word, but what does that have to do with his motivation?
Maybe it's about Elon's "ai."
Ah fuck me. I missed that. He named his AI grok. What a fucking dick.
