The Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia Friday reinstated the guilty verdict in the case of a former network administrator who had been convicted in May 2000 in the first prosecution of computer sabotage. The malicious software code destroyed the programs that ran the company's manufacturing machines, costing Omega more than $10 million in losses and $2 million in reprogramming costs, and eventually leading to 80 layoffs. Lloyd now faces sentencing and up to five years in a federal prison. This is just one of the latest cases involving insider-based network attacks. Last month, a Miami Florida jury found engineer, Herbert Pierre-Louis Jr., guilty of planting a software virus that disabled the computer network at Purity Wholesale Grocers, Inc. for two days. Company executives testified during the trial that the June 18, 1998 incident at the $1.5 billion company cost approximately $84,000 in lost profits, new hardware and software, and the in-house man-hours needed to get the system up and running again. Another case is getting ready to go to trial in Las Vegas in October. In that case, a network consultant is charged with sabotaging the computer network at one of his clients, Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging in Las Vegas. Sandusky is charged with three counts of network intrusion for changing passwords in the network, locking company administrators out of their own system.
