Sticks and stones words will get you 5 years 

In Pink-slipped BOFH admits to threatening ex-employer's network

1/4 of a million, imprisonment for making some threats to attack a few electrons?

No one got hurt not a scratch, no computers accessed in an unauthorized manner.

People threaten to kill people don't they and nothing happens, bizarre.

That aside, people have to wise up in IT, don't become too attached to anyone else's system, don't think you are joining a 'team', just get the cash (gold coins) paid on delivery of work at the end of the day or the week, offer no credit terms, sign nothing. Whilst offshoring occurs, offshore your tax liability.

IT needs to become the most awkward copper nicker wearing profession on the planet.

The risks are huge for a McJob here, 5 years imprisonment and 250 grand, what do you get for adding the special sauce in a burger; hanging?
