Jonathan Lee Eubanks, a 29-year-old Florida man, has been a bad, bad boy.
Eubanks is an ex-employee of Navarro Security Group, a private security services company in Florida. After being fired, he used a remote access Trojan (RAT) to cause havoc to his former company.
He was a very busy boy. Among his antics, he rerouted visitors from the company website to a rivals, broke into the company server and deleted all the files, hacked into an email account in order to send criticism and accusations of corporate malfeasance, then stole credit cards from a security software vendor so that he could buy rifle scopes, electronics and survivalist gear.
Eubanks was convicted in April of one count of intentionally causing damage to a protected computer without authorization, one count of access device fraud, and three counts of aggravated identity theft.
His days in court may not be over. Documents have surfaced during the investigation that after creating a PC repair business, his bank account received 26 tax refunds totaling $58,000. Two years later, he created a tax preparation service and this time received 15 tax returns worth $18,000.
Eubanks partially blames his misdeeds on heavy drinking and professed to the judge that he has since found God.
The judge ordered him jailed for 84 months.
