Texas Tech Terror: Software Developer’s Revenge Crashes Company Systems
Texas man Davis Lu faces up to 10 years in prison for deploying “IsDLEnabledinAD” malware, wreaking havoc on his former employer’s computer systems. His revenge plan included infinite loops, deleted profiles, and a ‘kill switch’—clearly not your average office resignation strategy.
