A 34-year-old man who used to be a network administrator for Gucci has now been indicted on 50 counts for hacking into the fashion company’s networks after he was no longer employed there.
He was fired in May 2010, for unrelated reasons, and apparently held quite a grudge as a result. He managed to create several virtual private networks (VPNs), from which he could remotely interfere with Gucci’s day-to-day operations.
This allegedly led to $200,000 in damage from lost online and retail sales alone. The defendant, Sam Chihlung Yin, was charged on 50 counts, including computer tampering, identity theft, falsifying business records, computer trespass, and many many more.
