By March 2015, though, he was demoted back to the helpdesk for poor performance, and eventually fired that August.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; As part of his duties, Stafford had access to the system login credentials of other employees and was authorized to use them in the course of performing his technical support duties,&#8221; prosecutors noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stafford was also responsible for disabling company users\u2019 network access credentials at the end of their employment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the day he was terminated, Stafford didn&#8217;t return his work-issued MacBook Pro, went home, and that evening used the laptop and his home internet connection to repeatedly attempt to log into the company&#8217;s network using his credentials and those of a former colleague. A couple of days later, in the early hours, he managed to get into his office PC remotely using the coworker&#8217;s details. From there he was able to &#8220;delete all of the file storage drives used by the Washington office, then changed the password to access the storage management system,&#8221; the Dept of Justice said.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutors went on:<\/p>\n<p>Three days later, he tried again to log in using others&#8217; credentials and failed. A couple of days passed and the company warned Stafford to knock it off and leave the biz alone. He continued to try to log in, and at one point tried to get into the Baltimore office&#8217;s network to also nuke its files, and was he was later nabbed by the Feds.<\/p>\n<p>The one-year-and-a-day prison term marks a halfway point between the two years prosecutors had sought. Once his sentence is complete, Stafford will be subject to a further three years of supervised release, and is unlikely to be hired again as an IT worker. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
