San Francisco hunts for mystery network device
The San Francisco case in which a rogue network administrator purportedly hijacked the city's network continues as city officials say they are now searching for a router whose location remains a mystery. Investigators who attempted to log into the device were greeted with a login prompt with an explicit warning that "This system is the personal property of Terry S. Childs." Childs, a network administrator with the Department of Telecommunications and Information Services (DTIS) was arrested when he refused to hand over login passwords to his superiors. A jailhouse meeting with the mayor finally got Childs to surrender the information. However, DTIS say that the city will need to spend more than $1 million to clean up the mess, with $182,000 already paid out to Cisco contractors so far.
