Former PenAir DB admin sentenced for hacking ticket/reservation system

»www.justice.gov/usao-ak/ ··· s-system
quote:
[Suzette Kugler] was a long-time employee of PenAir, who parted ways with the company in February 2017, dissatisfied with the circumstances surrounding her departure. During her employment, Kugler had administered PenAir’s Sabre database system, which the airline depended on for ticketing and reservations. The investigation revealed that, upon retirement, Kugler used her specialized knowledge regarding the Sabre database to create fake employee accounts with high-level privileges, without authorization, and then used those accounts to destroy critical information in a series of network intrusions.
Road rage, air rage... do they got anything on a pissed off (former) IT admin holding the keys to the entire kingdom?

You'd think that an Admin would know that covering up access is the end game, not access itself.
But then again, the vindictive type usually find out they are their own worse enemies.
