Davis Lu, a Texas software developer, has been convicted by a federal jury for causing intentional damage to his former employer's network, potentially facing up to ten years in prison. Lu reportedly created a 'kill switch' that locked out employees from the company's systems upon his departure in September 2019, after a restructuring reduced his role. This act led to significant disruptions affecting thousands of employees and resulted in substantial financial losses for the company. Sentencing is scheduled for June 23, 2025.
