"A San Francisco computer engineer arrested for allegedly locking out system administrators from the city's network has a criminal record for aggravated robbery in another state.
In addition, Terry Childs, 43, of Pittsburg, Calif., is still being paid his six-figure salary while he sits in jail, refusing to divulge the password he created to hijack the computer system that stores 60% of all city government data, including e-mails, law enforcement records, and payroll documents, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday." ~informationweek.com
