I was authorized to trash my employer's network, sysadmin tells court

Charles 9

Re: This should be covered by a different clause in the contract

Except that destruction of other people's property, in general, is covered by statute. The authorization must be to specifically destroy something, such as by being part of a wrecking crew under contract.

That's where the appellate panel can nail him. Where is his specific and immediate authorization to destroy most of the company's records at that time?
