A Northern Territory IT worker who caused millions of dollars of damage
to government systems has reportedly been jailed for three years.

Computer engineer David Anthony McIntosh, 28, is a former CSG employee
who crashed several government services at Berrimah Prison, Royal Darwin
Hospital and the Supreme Court on 5 May last year. McIntosh also deleted
over 10,000 public servants from the system. CSG holds major contracts
with the NT Government.
