Walter Powell, a 52 year old former director of management information systems at Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems hacked into his former employer’s systems following his firing and replaced a prepared presentation to the Board of Directors with porn. Hit the jump to read the rest of the story.
It may have been the most unexpectedly sexy PowerPoint presentation about a substance abuse center’s achievements ever witnessed. But then, most PowerPoint presentations about substance abuse don’t feature pornographic images, to the best of my knowledge. Walter Powell, a 52 year old former director of management information systems at Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems, was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and three years of probation (in addition to a two year suspended sentence) earlier this week. Powell hacked into his former employer’s systems following his firing and replaced a prepared presentation to the Board of Directors with porn. “It happened one day last year, as more than a dozen board members of a Baltimore substance abuse center had gathered around a conference room. The CEO was giving a PowerPoint presentation on his accomplishments. Suddenly, his computer shut down, then restarted, replacing the latest slide with an image of a naked woman onto a 64-inch screen. The board members include city officials and foundation heads and is chaired by Baltimore’s health commissioner.†All in all, Powell’s quiet reign of hacking terror lasted 32 days before his arrest.
