Synopsis

In January 2013, a former employee performed malicious actions on his former company's systems apparently out of vengeance. Using a remote access trojan the former employee re-routed visitors from his former company's website to rival sites and deleted files from the company's server.

The company's computer system was damaged and the individual's former colleagues suffered identity theft and fraudulent purchases after he stole their credit card details in the intrusion.
