A former Citibank employee, Lennon Ray Brown, was sentenced to 21 months in prison after wiping routers and shutting down 90 percent of Citibanks network access across North America.
The code and command effectively resulted in the loss of connectivity to approximately 90 percent of all Citibank networks.
Brown sent this text shortly after the attack: “They was firing me. I just beat them to it," the text read. "Nothing personal, the upper management need to see what they guys on the floor is capable of doing when they keep getting mistreated.”
