Yung-Hsun Lin recently plead guilty to writing and installing a logic bomb on the company network at Medco Health Solutions. Concerned he may be laid off, he planned on disrupting Medco Health Solutions ability to know if a customer’s new prescriptions would have adverse interactions with their existing prescriptions.

Fortunately another administrator found the threat before it had a chance to go off. Medco estimates the problem cost them between $70,000 – $120,000 to clean up.

If convicted, Lin could be facing 10 years in prison; although his plea deal is for 30 to 37 months.
