An ex-IT chief has been arrested on charges of hacking into his former company’s email system. He eavesdropped on top executives’ emails about employees’ job status and then warned them that they were about to lose their positions. I doubt there’s any real “hacking” involved here. He was an “ex-insider,” who should have had all of the (hopefully) nonexistent access granted to an outsider. But just because I created systems for previous employers doesn’t mean I can waltz onto their networks now.”]
