And to the other poster, it IS illegal. The SF systems administrator was charged with "felony computer network tampering." If you leave a company and you didn't disclose the admin passwords or access to management on the way out the door and refuse to do so, you can and most likely be facing some very seriously felony charges.
I did not say he did not do it on purpose, i said he did not do it to be an ass. Read a couple of the stories, the guy did it to keep some idiot from wrecking the network, a very complex network. Not saying what he did was right or wrong, but it didn't look malicious. -

eh, either way, our point is the same. If you lock a company out of their own network on the way out the door, then it's going to legally be very bad for you. That's the point I think we were both trying to make to that other poster -

Locking a company out would not only be illegal but career suicide. Even if they didn't press charges you would be burning a lot of bridges (behind you and in front of you if word got out what you did)No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives. -

I thought it would be illegal. But I swear I've heard stories of people leaving postions and doing exactly that. And all they became were stories... ones where charges/prosecution were never brought up. Atleast I got nearly a page of people talking about the subject of career ethics

True there. Ethically doing something like that is REALLY BAD.I thought it would be illegal. But I swear I've heard stories of people leaving postions and doing exactly that.
