Chinese real estate biz giant Lianjia’s former database administrator, Han Bing (40-year-old), has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for hacking the corporate company’s systems and wiping their data.
Bing allegedly deleted all stored data from two database servers and two application servers using his administrative privileges and a “root” account in June 2018.
As a consequence, Lianjia has been forced to suspend large parts of its operations immediately. With this disruption, the company was unable to pay its employees for longer periods of time.
Not only that even restoring the whole data cost the company around $30,000, and it’s really expensive. It is not the direct damages caused by the interruption of the firm’s business, but rather the indirect damages, which were far more devastating.
